TN: 1963 Taylor Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 5½ hours - Sourced from a cellar in Belfast, where the wine had been kept since being purchased in 1966. Belfast merchant bottling. Auburn centre, browning rim but depth of colour consistent across the wine. Nose hot and alcoholic. Alcohol overwhelms everything else. Warm and smooth into the mouth. Lots of acidity with a sharp liquorice edge (which others also described as mint). Good length with warm chocolate and stewed red berries. Overall, I was pleased with this wine. 94 points
