TN: 1966 Taylor Vintage Port

Post by Al B. »

Decant: 6 hours - Very slightly darker colour than the Vargellas 1967 shown alongside. Lovely open nose, stewed fruits and floral perfumes. Smooth and sweet in the mouth; plenty of fruit with a noticeable tannic core. Fruit develops well in the mouth, but other wines have had more depth. A slight heat on swallowing, followed by a fierce spiciness and a very big flavour profile.

Three days later, the wine had sweetened and mellowed, showing much more fruit and softness - a significantly better wine. 92 points
