T48, newly decanted and served somewhat cold. Nose: acrid meat, and I thought off. Others said corked.

Dark, fine looking port. Alas TCA on nose - faint but unmistakeable, dash it. A dreadful shame because there was clearly something pretty special underneath it.

Dark in colour, 60% opaque. TCA on the nose. Foul on the palate. NR.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
