Just got mine today. Dark ruby center gently fading to the edge. Nice nose but somewhat unexpected flavours for a port of provencial herbs intermixed with cassis and currant jam and a chocolaty touch, volatil flavours are also showing if you swirl too much the glass. Jucy mouth entry, nice fruits, ripe, good concetration, lots of licorice and currant on the finish and dry tannins, but really short and showing alcohol. I like my LBV with a bit more fat and less dry tannins but it is probably the best Taylor since their 1995. 14.5/20
