A shade darker than the 1942. A hint of pontefract cake on the nose. Rich fruit. Lovely port. A point from me and a deserved second place on the night.

G45: red-brown, 30% opaque. Soft, and intensely spicy. In great balcen, but not long. Laterm retasted, it had become much better longer. This wine is 79 years old, and still showing impressively well.
