1967 Taylor Colheita

[jdaw1]

Tony Carter arranged, and donated some of the bottles for, a splendid horizontal of 1967s at The Boot & Flogger. When the arranging started, Thursday 8th June 2017 seemed like an ordinary Thursday, but it became an election night.

T67 colheita, quickly tasted away from the main table as a I rushed to the door. Nose of rich molasses. Full and slightly acidic (less acidic than the Kopke colheita).

Bottled 2016. Dark brown, 30% opaque. Showing a delicious nose of toasted oats and caramelised sugar. This comes with a nice texture, thick and full of flavour — powerful and focused with a lovely intensity. This has a great and intense finish full of lingering flavours. A really fine port. 92/100.
