1963 Taylor's Vintage Port

[Otto Nieminen]

This was outstanding. Light colour, but otherwise still youthful. Fresh red fruit, lingonberry and some cedar aromas would indicate an aged Port yet it was still so rich and sweet that it seems youthful. The finish lasts forever. Lovely balance. I would still prefer even more aged aromas; but even now it is wonderful.

I opened a bottle several months ago and also felt it was amazingly youthful. It was a lot darker in color than what you've described but otherwise, delivered everything I had hoped for. When the bottles show well, this can still be an amazing Port with much life ahead. Other bottles I've tried were already nearing maturity and seemed far more tired. So it really comes down to the provenance of the particular bottle in hand. No question about it. Glad yours showed so well!
