Description
The 1970 Taylor's Vintage Port has a tight nose, youthful with notes of liquorice, raisin, boot polish and lemongrass. It is well-defined and displays a little more intensity than the 1963. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins that are very cohesive with superb ripeness: wild strawberry, lemongrass, smoke and dates with an incredibly persistent finish. There is an effortlessness to this Port. It has such weight on the finish that it will cruise past another two decades in bottle. Drink 2018 - 2030.
