Red to the rim. Too many tannins for great pleasure now. Long finish.

winesecretary

Red to the rim. Beautiful port. Too young really but drinkable with pleasure.

winesecretary

Too young, but this is really very good port.

winesecretary

Young fruity and aromatic port. A little hollow on the palate, however. Possibly improving with more air. In this company, too young.

winesecretary · Re: Taylor Single Harvest Tawny Tasting - 16 May 2024 Looking forward to this!

Looking forward to this!

At first a rather odd nose and I thought not right. Benefitted from more air however.

winesecretary

A rich ruby (not garnet). My notes were getting scrappier by this point but I have written 'a little lifeless compared to the 1983'.

winesecretary

As dark as any bottle present on the night. 100% opaque. Rich thick gooey port. As good a bottle of 1983 wine (of any variety) as it is possible to imagine. I gave it an HM.

winesecretary

Really deep colour. Grapes on the nose. Big rich palate. Excellent, and still young, port. Got a point from me for WOTN which is impressive in this company.

winesecretary

Fabulous inviting rich ruby. Beautiful mouthfeel and fruit. Really very good port indeed.

winesecretary

Pale rim. Acrid nose. Increasingly unpleasant to me as the evening went on. I don't think I like 1975 port. Others liked this more.

winesecretary

Markedly paler than the 1966. Hint of vanish on the nose. The fruit's all present and correct, though.

winesecretary

A lovely full rich red. Dumb nose. Palate full of life. Arguable still needs time? Tannins still present. Lovely - would have made a spectacular wine as the focus of an evening.

winesecretary

Yellow rim. A little bite of something. Oranges and butterscotch. Not what was expected - possible stored a little warm at some point in its life?

winesecretary

Still very much discernible as vintage port. Rich red fruit on the nose and palate and full of life. 2 points from me and a deserved third place on the night.

winesecretary

Pale rim. A hint of balsamic. Still some tannins. Sweet and delicious.

winesecretary

Pale rim. A little spirity on the nose ,almost a varnish note but not quite. Warm red fruits on the palate. Still a ghost of tannin on the finish. Very fine wine. Two points from me and a deserving winner on the night.

winesecretary

A shade darker than the 1942. A hint of pontefract cake on the nose. Rich fruit. Lovely port. A point from me and a deserved second place on the night.

winesecretary

Fully mature, orange rim. Cherry nose with added tinned strawberry. Lovely fruit washing across your tongue like a tide coming in. Just a hint of heat on the finish.

winesecretary

Thank you to Martin for arranging. Thank you to everyone for providing such interesting wines. Several of them were new to me and happily almost all of those new to me were truly lovely.

May I echo the comments of others on the quality of the write up.

Good bottles of Taylor 48 are the real deal. This bottle sounds like it was the real deal.

winesecretary

1960 opened and decanted at 0720. Smells divine. Decanted nice and clean with heavy sediment mainly left in the bottle.

Bottled autumn 1962 by J G Thomson & Co Ltd of The Vaults, Leith.

winesecretary

It’s not my tasting so its co-ordinator will comment - but from my perspective if you just turned up with the Niepoort I for one would be delighted- it’s the one I haven’t ever got my paws on.

winesecretary

What a lovely writeup with the ebullient HH enthusiasm really bubbling through.

Quite some tasting. but as cem says I also would have gone oldest to youngest especially if ll decanted at same time.

winesecretary

At 1013 on a Sunday morning too
