VERY OLD SINGLE HARVEST PORT, TAYLOR 1970 DRINK2020-2040

1x75 £180

Talk about being fifty years young – the colour was a deep ruby with no bricking at all, the fruit was enormous, even from the small sample I had to enjoy and the viscosity and intensity in themouth was out of this world. I have never tasted a fifty-year-old plus Port which was so youthful, apart frommy dear late father’s 1935 (his birth year) which was as pale as a Provençale rosé and almost as vibrant. The 1970 is absolutely a 5* vintage and I could see this drinking for a very easy fifteen years, quite possiblymuch longer.
