Vino Taylor’s Vintage Port 1970

Oporto fino y elegante. Frutal y concentrado pero con gratas notas de evolucion .

Bellisimo color entre rubi y anaranjado de capa intermedia y lagrima profusa. Nariz fundida y delicada, de gratas notas a uva sobremadura y recuerdos a frutos secos. Boca de delicado ataque dulce, buen equilibrio de gustos acidos y maduros, con un redondo paso de boca, fresco postgusto de uva y tostados. Mejoro mucho durante la cata de sus hermanos menores llegando a un bouquet fino y elegante que antes era mucho más lineal.

Frente a otro vintage del 70 este está muy bebible.

Double decanted 5 ½ hours before tasting, I had placed this in the ice bucket for a while to cool it down. When I first poured it, the temperature was a few degrees too cool. With air time, it showed noticeably better. A bright strawberry red with a pale pink rim. Some hazelnut and dry dates mixed with a hint of aniseed on the nose. Slightly spirity, the classy length of dates and dried figs was in abundance. Still youthful, this was not showing as well as other bottles I have drunk and it was probably due to the temperature. At the end of the meal, it was better. Still an excellent Port and I would happily drink this again.
