1955 Taylor vintage port

Post by AHB » 13:54 Wed 12 Jan 2011

Very pale, butterscotch in colour. Nosing of butterscotch Angel Delight. Empty palate impact, nothing but bland syrup. Hollow. Strange, buttery aftertaste - not pleasant, but not unpleasant - but this is swamped by the rosemary normally encountered in a very old port. Not representative and not rated. Drunk 10 Jan 2011.
Top Ports in 2018 (so far): Niepoort VV (1960's Bottling), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994 and San Leonardo Very Old White (Bottled 2018)
2017 Ports of the year: Fonseca 1927 and Quinta do Noval 1927
