T35, dark red, 35% opaque. Dark red fruit, sweetness, soft, black pepper mid palate, soft. And in perfect balance. Loving it!

the 2 hours decant seemed to be perfect for this. wonderful rich red fruit with power, perfect balance, fantastic long finish. This was a wow port, a complete joy to drink. Truly outstanding. 2 points

1935 Taylor, Audouzed for 2 hours and then decanted for a further 2½ hours. Sealed under a black foil with only the shipper and vintage embossed on it. Dark red. Elegant nose and palate with a lovely dark cherry. Lingering dark plum finish. Lots of fruit, primary and full of delicious ripeness. Nice. 90/100.
