2009 Taylor Vintage Port - Portugal, Douro, Porto (10/27/2011)
This disappointed, making the weakest showing of the 2009 TFP Vintage Ports. Lighter in style, showing some of the feminine elegance I find in the greatest Taylors, with some interesting floral complexity. But this isn't showing great depth and is overpowered by the spirit. Incredible length, though. I suspect a longer decant would have helped this, so no score.
