1970 Taylor vintage port
Posted: 10:28 Sat 09 Oct 2010
Almost as dark in colour as the Gould Campbell 1970 drunk alongside. 60% opaque. Hot on the nose, some VA giving a slightly varnishy tone. Sweet and thick entry; but with a harshness that unbalances and dominates. Eventually the harshness fades and allows the mature fruit to the fore, showing as lots of red jelly beans. Harsh and acidic on the aftertaste, drying out the cheeks but finishing with a long fruit candy. 84/100. Drunk 27 September 2010.
