Cockburn--Vintage 1963 Bottled by J. Harvey Embossed plastic capsules, Bin-soiled and very damaged labels. Levels base of neck or better Tasting Note: Many notes on a variety of English bottlings. Opaque, liquorice and raw brandy in 1965. Steady evolution through the 1970s and noted as complete and harmonious - at its best - in 1980. In 1985, lively looking with ruby glow; interesting bouquet, tea, chocolate, liquorice, citrus. Never very sweet, lean, sinewy. But in the mid -1990s, quite a good colour. Its nose reminded me of burnt-out candle wax. Drying out. Most recently: palish, luminous; low-keyed at first but opened up fragrantly; lean dry finish but overall very appealing. Good length. Showing well at Cockburn's 'Memories of a Century' tasting in London, May 2002 **** M.B. 12 bottles per lot
