MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of magnum, which of course is a great way to enjoy a glass with 44 friends. For me, I got toasty notes, chocolate and a bit dusty finish. Improved in the glass over the next 2 hrs.

Big, balanced and smooth. From an amazing bottle stood for 2 days, this seemed much younger but immediately accessible with decades left in the tank. More viscous and sweet than most mature Taylors with dark cherry and chocolate more dominant and there is very little alcohol heat. Too easy to drink - with spicy depth that only reveals with air. Gorgeous port, and my favourite Taylor’s vintage. Drink to 2040. 96-97pts

Had a glass at L’Osier in Tokyo from a bottle that was decanted 48 hours prior. Exceptional balance with good structure and a long finish. Worth seeking out.

Opened about 1 hour before tasting. Decanted and filtered before serving. The port exhibits a beautiful ruby color and lots of spices on the nose. Drank over the next 2 hours with a section of Stilton and other cheeses, smoked salmon, charcuterie, and other morsels. Absolutely terrific.
