1955 Gonzalez Byass Vintage Port

Post by Al B. »

Decant: 4½ hours - Deep burnt orange, 25% opaque and with a pale rim. Modest nose, a touch of VA, slightly dirty fruit. Thick in texture, with late developing but generous levels of fruit. Deliciously mature on the palate. There is a slight dryness on the mid-palate but plenty of late fruit. Long and fabulous finish. Very good port - mature and perfect for current drinking. Served blind, this was guessed to be Taylor 1960. 91 points
