Taylor's 1955 - decanted 7 hours
This was presented to Roy and Nicos blind. I knew what it was from previous discussions with Tom so wasn't allowed to play It was great fun watching them trying to work out what it was. Nicos jumped to Taylor straight away then convinced himself it was a Dow. Roy had it in the 1927 to 1945 range, which was understandable as it was a fairly evolved bottle. After Tom revealed that it was evolved for it's age and from a great vintage 1955 was favourite. It was a beautiful glass of port with that signature warmth that always says Taylor to me. Not agressive heat, just enough to make you glow inside on a cold night.
