1977 Taylor
1977 Taylor
On Wednesday 8th February 2012 four port enthusiasts met in The Bung Hole to enjoy some fine port, served blind. And we did. Links:

T77: lovely mid red. Dry, both on nose and start of palate. To taste dry then strawberries, then dry again. Mid-weight; the dryness ‟overwhelming”. No fruit, but lovely.
DRT, knowing that he had never had T77 before rued the absence of AHB, who said DRT would doubtless tell him that he had. Nay matter: PhilW and I named reminded him of three in the last four months.

Dusty nose - perhaps Warre? "Yum-yum, yum-yum" Delicious sweetness. Dry liquorice in the mid palate with red fruits in the finish, which is very long. Splendid Port. I'm surprised I have never had it before

Medium colour, slightly light but inviting nose; minimal fruit but delicious flavour, complex and long. Taylor isn't my usual house of preference, so I was impressed by how good this was to me. Pipped by the D77 overall.
Extra bonus to have brought along a good bottle which Derek had never tried before
