1963 Taylor vintage port

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Opened as part of the Wokingham offline on 11 June 2009.

Ullaged to very low shoulder. Light red, clear in the centre. A warm nose with a bit of alcohol over violets and milk chocolate. Silky and thick in the mouth; warm and fruity with some lovely orange and kumquat flavours with a delicious sweet strawberry concentrate. A slight burn on the aftertaste but then the finish is full of lovely flavours and a huge, long length. Absolutely delicious. 93/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
