Any information on this 1968 Port?

So I'm digging around on back of my small cellar and find a forgotten bottle of 1968 Niepoort Colheita - One of the white painted (stenciled) bottles. A little googling gets me to their web site, but their information for Colheita doesn't show a 1968 bottling. The bottle has Niepoort embossed on it along with a seal across the red top. The fill might be down slightly but looks in good shape otherwise.

Any ideas on what to expect when I pop this open??

Thanks,

Mike P

Fine find.

Expect it to be in good shape. Niepoort is famous for old colheitas, and according to Dirk van der Niepoort (and his father, who probably bottled this specific wine), they do develop in bottle.
