1965 Taylor LBV Port
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:13 pm
Decant: 5 hours - Filtered, bottled in 1971. Purchased at auction. Cloudy in appearance, light brown in colour. Smelling of old carpets and plastic. Morphed with an extra 30 minutes in the glass into a slightly sour honey. Swirling releases the plastic bottle stink again. Harsh attack, acidic but with honey undertones. Patience on the palate allows honey and hazelnuts but always that acidic harshness. Slight heat on swallowing, followed by a long and lovely burnt sugar finish. 78 points
