Most have been tannic even now. but now some have been completely mature.

Re: Port Freak-70 Taylor
Geez... only have a few bottles of this vintage. Certainly not a weekday port for me at least. Other 70's I can be more cavalier with.

This has been a great bottling for many years (although there is some significant bottle variation). Glad that these have shown well!! Didn't someone on the board name their daughter after this wine?!

I agree that by and large this has hit it's plateau, and will remain on it for many years to come. But I generally don't see it getting any better as I do with its brother the Fonseca.
