Taylor’s Vintage Port 1997

“A deep black inky core with deep ruby rim. The nose dose not have the definition or the ripeness of the ’92 yet it is cut from the same cloth. Scents of pure blackberry, blueberry, liquorice, raisin with a touch of dried blood and a sense of being earthier than the previous two declarations. The palate is medium-bodied rather than full, but has lovely balance and a bewitching sensuality. I love the sense of earthiness to this port and it is adorned with a cohesive, very refined finish. Superb.” – 97 Pts, Neal Martin
