1970 Taylor
Fairly light, 50% opaque. Pronounced violets on the nose. And in the mouth, followed by some pontefract cakes on the mid-palate. Good port. Tasted blind at B&F 9 January 2020. Courtesy MPM.

30% opacity, mature red. Dusty cherries on the nose. Lovely smooth entry, cherries, gentle heat mid-late palate. Good balance.

Lightly pigmented mature in tone, 50% opaque. Sweet fruit on the nose, lively but slightly harsh. Nice in texture with sweet and gentle fruit. A good balance of youthful vigour and vibrant fruit. A lovely texture with just a touch of green on the edge. A delightful Port. Served blind this was guessed to be Dow 1983. 89/100. Tasted 09-Jan-20. Decanted 9 hours.
