Description

A carefully cellared bottle from a country house near Brighton, this crisp and clean bottle comes with good complete label (rare enough), and a complete vintage stamped wax seal with no chips.
Level commensurate with age.

Vintage Wine & Port
"From the legendary 1963 vintage the Delaforce 1963 is a light ruby red colour to a brown rim. Aromas of cherries and nuts. Medium bodied with cinnamon, spice, and earth. Moderate finish".

and some Cellartracker notes:

Decanted using Hersh method. very pale rose in colour with brown rim. Distinct nuttiness on nose and palate with beautiful silkiness in the mouth. Awesome - great way to celebrate a 50th birthday.

Several of us at a local restaurant buy bottles of port and leave them behind the bar for any of us that wish to sample them. This is one of my recent bottles. This one had been seeping for a long time; there was a layer of raiseny sugar/tar on top of a very wet crumbly cork. On opening, decanting through a filter, and returning to a rinsed out bottle, we found a medium-brown port with little fruit and a pronounced nuttiness (Eva said, "Marzipan" at her first sip) almost like a tawny port. Definitely the hit of the evening. Extremely mellow, with no hint of hardness in the finish as you sometimes get with tawny, or older vintage ports.
