1955 Taylor

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Tasted at JDAW's Cellar Reduction Dinner on 16th February 2022.

A bottle ulllaged to low shoulder. Orange ochre colour, 20% opaque. Freehand decanted bringing a little sediment out of the bottle. Unpleasant nose of freshly cut bruised nectarine. Smooth entry, gentle bruised peach with good acidity. A good tawny palate and a nice chocolate orange finish. Not a bad drink given the condition of the bottle. 86/100. Drunk 16-Feb-22. Pop 'n' pour.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

30% opacity, dull tan, amber. Concentrated oranges on the nose. Balanced, grippy, concentrated oranges. Just enough acidity to keep it on the plateau.
