Description

A really 'clean' bottle in every respect.

Good complete label and back label, pristine capsule and level into the neck.

Some comments:
From Taylor's own website
The winter of 1982/3 was marked by extreme cold weather in February, when snow fell in Pinhão for the first time in twenty years. Poor flowering in many vineyards and overall an unusually cold year, including the month of August. However, September was hot.
The harvest was late, starting on October 3rd ,but perfect conditions prevailed. Colour extraction was more than satisfactory and the winemakers’ notes at the time record that the ‘musts’ were exceptionally aromatic.

Vintage Wine & Port's comments
This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades. Their tawnys are also among the very best, though somewhat expensive. The 1983 is wonderfully aromatic and so perfumed (a characteristic of this charming vintage), yet powerful, long and deep on the palate.

This was delicious!

Drank this because of fellow members stated that this is on the decline. First day loads of raspberry didn’t expect this much fruit at this age. Little bit of heat. Finish/balance was slightly off. Pulled together quite fast. Lasted for 3 days easily. IMO this still has enough life for a couple more years. Best on day 3. Loads of cherry and blackberries. Thick mouthfeel and a pretty long finish. Still very enjoyable. If kept under good conditions no real reed to rush this.
