"A fitting conclusion to this unforgettable dinner, the 1863 is simply huge on the palate, with magnificent extract, concentration and depth, yet it somehow remains miraculously light on its feet. The flavors are dark, burnished and spiced throughout. Even with all the great Haut-Brions on the table, the 1863 Port Colheita is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the evening. It is every bit that profound. Readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is utterly thrilling. What a treat it is to taste and drink the 1863, a wine that dates back to what is widely considered Port's last great pre-phylloxera vintage. (Drink between 2014-2029)"
