Taylor's Crusted

This weekend I got hold of a Taylor's Crusted (bottled in 1974).
Did some searching on the internet, but couldn't find anything on it, other than a mention on the FTLOP saying a Taylor's Crusted was somewhat of a rarity.
Does anyone here have any experience with it?

No experience of this port...but it should be really good. I love older bottlings of crusted ports.

Picking up a case of '78 Taylor Crusted won at auction this week. Suppose to be SOS, but do not know how bad. I assume it's minor, or least hope
The price was right!

Looking forward to a tasting note!

A quick tasting note.
Very sweet, spirited, mature, ruby color. Faintly fresh at best. The sweetness is quite nice and not very Taylor tasting in general, but the spirit can be a lot for some.
I think this works well as a "poor man's vintage", but Dow may have the upper hand with Crusted.
A proper tasting will happen some time before the fall as I have a case of this.
The cork says Taylor Crusted bottled in 1978 too; quite cool looking.

For me this was sweet and raisinny, fresh dates, but way too much alcohol showing!
