1935 Taylor vintage port
Posted: 23:58 Sat 16 Jan 2010
An unlabeled bottle, appearing to be old glass. The cork was branded Taylor 1935 although the glass of the bottle appeared to be 20 years older.
A light, burnt siennna colour; very transparent. A little oxidised on the nose (mid-shoulder fill), smelling of burnt oranges and rosemary. Smooth in the mouth; dry, acidic and slightly hot. Some good complexity and flavours on the palate. Pleasant and gentle aftertaste, one which grows quite impressively in size and weight. 84/100. Drunk 17 Dec 2009.
