Description

This wine has improved dramatically in the past few years and has completely shed the "The dreaded 1983 Taylor" moniker that accompanied perceived early weakness. It is developing tertiary flavors and has lost all of it roughness and baby fat. Decanted and followed for a hour or so. It seemed a bit light and translucent as I poured the decant, but no less dark than the 2014 Elusa that it followed once it made it to the decanter and then the glass. Having shed roughness, the wine is extremely smooth and velvety with balanced but not expressive sweetness. There was fruitiness, but not focused to a particular red fruit. It was hard to identify, and one of my drinking buddies was unsure, ultimately settling on a red fruit like a plum. I thought there was a fair mixture of light plum and light cherry. There was just the start of the development of caramel and nuttiness. This is an excellent port for people who do not like the heavier ports that the haters (e.g., my wife) describe as being like cough syrup. The more I think about this, the more I like the balanced approach that is less forceful.
