1960 Taylor

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Taylor 1960, bottled by Thomson of Leith. Poor cork, which fell into the bottle when the corkscrew was applied. Deep brick red with a slight green hint on the rim. Slightly oxidised on the nose, which dominates any other smells. On the palate the tiredness and oxidation dominate over a raspberry biscuit palate. Ripe fruit but quite dry on the palate, shortbread and brioche with a coffee finish. Served blind, this was guessed to be Taylor 1955. Not Rated.
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!
