1931 Taylor Vintage Port
Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:09 pm
Decant: Not known - Supplied by Army & Navy with a typed label reading Vintage Port Pinhao 1931 with a handwritten addition of "Taylor". Slightly cloudy, russet brown; 30% opaque. Spicy on the nose, showing cinammon and some of the alcohol, but pleasant nevertheless. Soft entry, showing some heat and some acidity - light bodied with lots of bruised apples and cinammon. Nice development and lovely layering on the palate. Big burst of hot cinammon on the aftertaste, lingering and full of root ginger; great length. Lovely, tawny and elegant - very enjoyable. 87 points
