1977 Taylor
Deep red colour, looking mature but not elderly, 70% opaque. Hollow nose, slightly dusty and lacking in fruit. Initially a sweet impression on the palate but then comes a hint of TCA. Very flat on the palate. Served blind this was guessed to be Fonseca 1977. Not Rated. Decanted 6½ hours. Drunk 28 September 2017.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
