1924 Taylor.

Good rich red fruit, great balance, a touch of tannins (for a short time), mid to long finish. Just preferred to the 1920. Excellent

1924 Taylor, Audouzed for 2 hours and then decanted for a further 2½ hours. Dark red colour, 80% opaque. A little closed on the nose at first but with it then showing some lovely dark and rich black bramble fruit. Lovely on the palate, dark fruit delivering a glorious and expressive palate full of black damson and bramble. Rich and with a depth seldom seen in such a mature Port. The richness of the damson and black cherry finish is so impressive, although the finish fades a little more quickly than I would have liked. 94/100.
