1985 Taylor

Post by winesecretary »

Low neck bottle, decanted 4 hours. Cork came out clean.

A promising 70% opaque with red rim.

Violets and dark chocolate on the nose then a hint of prune.

Smooth sweet black cherry entry before the fruits slowly redden, and with a flicker of the Taylor fire; but ultimately resolves in the dried fig spectrum.

This is a much nicer port now than I remember it being ten years ago.
