1964 Taylor Colheita

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A lovely deep chestnut colour. Big and powerful on the nose with VA and mandarins strong enough to make the mouth water. Thick and unctuous texture with rich treacle sweetness cut by a powerful lime acidity that brings balance. A lovely mouthfeel leads to a delicious treacle and apricot finish. Tasty, but very different in style to the elegance of the 1964 white. Chosen by Beatriz Machado, Wine Director of the Yeatman. 92/100. Drunk 26-Sep-14. Decant N/K.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
