1963 Taylor vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Opened as part of the Wokingham offline on 11 June 2009.

Ullaged to very low shoulder. Light red, clear in the centre. A warm nose with a bit of alcohol over violets and milk chocolate. Silky and thick in the mouth; warm and fruity with some lovely orange and kumquat flavours with a delicious sweet strawberry concentrate. A slight burn on the aftertaste but then the finish is full of lovely flavours and a huge, long length. Absolutely delicious. 93/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
