1966 Taylor Vintage Port

[Tom D.]

Fill well into the neck, but plenty of old seepage under the capsule. Beautiful ruby color. This had the same profile as the best examples of this: fruity, rosy, feminine, subtly complex. In my experience, this Port is generally a light and elegant style which can be easily overpowered by spirit, as was somewhat the case with this bottle. The spirit did blow off after a couple days in the decanter, but so did much of the freshness and complexity. Still a very nice experience. John Harvey (Bristol, UK) bottling. 92 points.
