“ 21:23 Thu 04 Jan 2018
From the 2017 Berry Brothers Port Walk.
Bought from the Oxford & Cambridge club's wine list @ £62 per bottle. Round and figgy with a core of dry charcoal tannins. Just moving into its drinking window and would benefit from a much longer decant. 88/100. 23-Nov-1“
Was gonna rip tonight but wanna see if anyone has recent experience. This wine in pristine shape and pristine 1970 will live another 40 no sweat

Sarah says “there’s a lovely honey component: sweet without being sugary”
I have this right at 89/90 points. Must I own this wine?!
Unclear. Would I be upset owning this wine? Tosh

Maybe a bottle or three left but not more. not a meaningful holder of 1997, save Gould.

Re: 1997 Taylor: current status
I’ve always found it a good wine, quite different from many of the 1997s which have matured very quickly. The Taylor is big and bulky and very enjoyable.
But it’s not a wine I’m trying to buy more of. I’d rather buy Taylor 1992 or 1994.

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
