TN: 1967 Taylor Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 20 hours double decanted - UK bottled by Corney & Barrow in 1969. Deeper in colour than either the 1964 or 1965 shown alongside this wine, with the centre being only just transparent. Perfumed nose, floral and less overtly fruity than the previous two vintages. Some black licorice mixed in with raspberry jam. Sweet, balanced entry but some woody harshness in the mid-palate. Surprisingly, some of the tannins still show through. A short aftertaste. Overall, this is a decent port, but falls well short of greatness. 85 points
