1969 Taylor LBV Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 2 hours - Filtered, bottled in 1975. 30% opaque. Soft and mature red colour. Consistent (plastic) nose with the previous two Taylor LBVs (1965 and 1967). Some fruit on impact, but very dry and with VA on the palate; very hot. Also hot on the aftertaste, but the heat fades slowly to reveal a long, sour cherry finish. Fell apart in the glass over the course of an hour, or so. 74 points
