Description

A much respected Port House and vintage.

This bottle lacks a label (as do so many from this era) but the wax seal bears the 1963 stamped in it as is the name - Taylor.

The level is a remarkable "in neck" - see photo, witness to a good cellar and no signs of seepage.

Wine Journal May 2008 Neal Martin 96
A much more youthful colour compared to the -60, the nose is very well defined, feminine, almost floral with notes of wild strawberry, smoke, tobacco, Clementine and leather. Yet it does not quite have the breeding I was expecting, something more transparent when contrasting against the -45 or the -48. The palate is silky and harmonious with filigree tannins, notes of strawberry, cherry and liquorices leading to a more structured fig-tinge finish. The palate is more compelling than the nose and it has great length. I would actually give this more time in bottle, something tells me it would like to reach half-a-century! Tasted November 2007.
