A cask sample, tasted at Vila Nova de Gaia on 24 July 2010 with Fernando Oliveira, Master Blender for Barros.
Amber tawny, like the sunset over Porto.
Beautiful nose of spices – cinnamon, perhaps.
Some wood influence on the palate again but this is not quite as fine as the 1963.
Like an out of focus photograph, it remains blurred at the edges.
