(Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage) From magnum - light medium brown color with ruby lights and clear meniscus; VA, maple syrup, ginger cake, vanilla, dates nose, but drier than Graham, with lovely sandalwood edge; rich, sweet, ginger cake, maple syrup, sweet coffee, dates, brazil nut, almond palate, harmonious, with balance and depth; long finish 96+ pts. (this was poured as a mystery Port, and I guessed "Taylor, 1963 or earlier")

Degustateurs with 1955 bookends. (Oceanique Restaurant Evanston IL): 3 hour decant and Wow. Lovely on the palate. Long finish to a great night of tasting.

The Last Hurrah; 4/7/2022-4/9/2022 (Seattle, Washington): Light amber-orange in color. Light bodied with red fruit and medium complexity. Some touches of vanilla on the palate, but this bottle is starting to show a few more Tawny characteristics than VP characteristics.

Wow- a perfect bottle with fill into neck. Decanted 45m pre dinner , cork out with durand cork screw (a must for these old bottles)- this was just terrific and right there with best I’ve ever had (a lot) - not declining at all but likely at its peak now so I’d start to drink up. Im with JR (19/20) and Michael Broadbent (5stars/5) on this one….
