Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 1975 Taylor's Vintage Port is understated on the nose compared to the 1970 and 1977, with scents of degraded red fruit, ash, fig and clove, beautifully defined but discreet. The palate is medium bodied with a slightly candied entry, offering blood orange and red fruit, allspice and clove, with just a dab of gingerbread on the back palate. Very cohesive on the finish, this is not a powerful Vintage Port—that is a strength, not a weakness. Lovely.
