TAYLOR's PORT



TAYLOR'S VINTAGE PORT


1977

1977 Taylor’s Fladgate & Yeatman Vintage Port: a light but intense colour with an orange hue; on the nose fruits, mainly fresh plums mixed with prunes, cedarwood, hints of shoe polish, and with time in the glass touches of nutmeg and soy sauce.  In the mouth there was the taste of rum raisin chocolates, candied cherries,  with a pleasant touch of acid; and sweet but elegant touch of caramel.  It was evidently thinning out a bit but still a good presence overall.  Drink now.  June 2021.  3.75/5
