11 bottles per lot
FINE PORT FROM PRIVATE CELLARS Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD) Croft--Vintage 1963 Oporto Bottled. Embossed plastic capsules. Remains of labels. Levels base of neck or better Tasting Note: Dozens of notes. First tasted in June 1965: lovely flavour, crystallised violets. Good throughout the 1970s and 1980s, though slight bottle and bottling variations. Three notes in the early to mid-1990s. Fairly consistently sweet and soft. A particularly agreeable bottle with bread and butter pudding at a Bacchus Society dinner at Brook's; but then in 1995 a rather dusty, medicinal bottle, lean and drying out. Most recently, an Oporto-bottled magnum: medium-deep, suitably mature rim; classic flowery bouquet; almost Graham-like sweetness though lean and fading a little. Last noted dining with the Guises in Sherston, Jan 2002 *** M.B. 11 bottles per lot
