1982 Taylor Terra Feta
Posted: 17:59 Tue 01 Nov 2022
A single bottle obtained as a gift from a former employer in December 1997. Stored in my cellar since.
Opened 1715 on 1st November 2022, the evening before the TTF vertical. Decanted, then back into the bottle and Vac-U-Vined.
Capsule fully branded - "TFY QUINTA DA TERRA FEITA 1982 Vintage Porto".
Unable to tell level as bottle too dark, but no signs of seepage. Bottom section of cork snapped off whilst removing, but this was due to the shortness of the corkscrew. Cork itself was in excellent condition.
Lots of heavy, compacted sediment.
QA sample OK, with no obvious faults.
