| Community Tasting Notes (average 98 pts. and median of 98 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jlgnml on 2/24/2024 & rated 98 points: MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of 2 750’s, one btl corked the other, which i drank from was in perfect condition. Tour de force. All the elements were in line. Color, depth, palate and finish. I experience this wine maybe 25 years ago and it is a treasure at 96+years old. Prolific declarations by all the port houses. (236 views) | | | Tasted by Edmundblackadder on 7/19/2023 & rated 98 points: Outstanding, medium red with some browning. Concentrated fruit, complex with very long. Drunk over two days- remained as strong day 2. Can evolve further. A rare treat ad almost a crime to drink! (424 views) | | | Tasted by AudunG on 9/6/2014 & rated 98 points: Great vinous aromas of cool fruit, chocolate and much more. Sweet, intense and super elegant in the mouth, with a dry finish. Great structure. (6326 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 3/12/2013: The 1927 Taylors Vintage Port is neither too young nor too old but just right. It has a gorgeous floral, spirit lift coupled with aromas of bitter chocolate, iodine and raisins. In the mouth it is lacy, full and gentle, filling the mouth with highly perfumed flavours and finishing dry, savoury and long. (6798 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 5/14/2009: Magnums for Dave (Jean-Georges - New York, NY): My notes were brief at this point in the evening. Good aromas and flavors, but not the nuance and complexity we hoped for from great old Port. (8412 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 10/11/2006: No formal note taken. Good, not great, and was substantially outperformed by the 22 Croft it was paired with. (7665 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff W on 11/29/2005: Pale and rusty colour, translucent at the edge. It would be easy to be intimidated, drinking such a venerable wine, but this is lovely. There is a fine attack of spicy acidity, to compliment the candied fruits. Smooth, so smooth, with a satisfying mouthfeel. There is still plenty of backbone and length, with the finish developing in the glass. exc+ (8288 views) |

Taylor's vintage ports are renowned for their massive structure, concentration of flavour and distinctively masculine style. Taylor's Port is also renowned for being amongst the longest lived of all ports.
Robert Parker: "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."Port BlendOver a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
