Opened and tasted with no decanting time. This is described as "Bottled in 2007 by Quinta and Vineyard Bottlers, Vinhos SA, Oporto".
Not much nose. Very dark ruby red colour. Pleasant enough to drink but nothing exciting. The bottle will get finished though! It will be interesrting to see what happens to this over time. Right now, bland is a word that comes to mind!

Bland, I agree. I had it a few weeks ago and had I not seen the label, I might have guessed it was a ruby . As Derek suggests, it does get better when chilled a bit.
I don't think it would by an LBV from Taylor again. I rather buy a good ruby at a price less tha this LBV or e.g. an unfiltered LBV for a little more.

I am converted to unfiltered LBV's! I would not buy a filtered LBV myself again.morteno wrote:Bland, I agree. I had it a few weeks ago and had I not seen the label, I might have guessed it was a ruby . As Derek suggests, it does get better when chilled a bit.
