The 63 vintage ports I've consumed were the finest ports I've ever had, with the possible exception of a '47 Croft. The Croft and Fonseca's were particularly good. Store as folks have suggested, on its side in a cool place, but rotate 180 degrees twice a year to keep the cork from drying out. I assume a 63 would have a lead foil cap. If you lift the foil and the cork underneath is 'crumbly', stand upright for a day, decant, and drink immediately. As you don't really know how its been stored, I'd drink it sooner than latter. A good Stilton and some nice grapes and nuts are the perfect with a good port. But most importantly, someone to share it with who will appreciate it makes the experience that much more enjoyable.Damn, I'm jealous. I fininshed my 63s about a decade ago...
