Taylor Vintage Port Vertical (Los Angeles, California): Very slightly pale in the glass, but pretty, with cinnamon reflections. Very generous nose, intensely fruity and peppery, like a California zinfandel but structured and balanced. Just wonderful to smell and fun to drink. Drink now or cellar many years. 11 hours in decanter.

Lightly coloured with a clear rim. Elegant with prune and leather on the nose. Raspberry as well as stewed fruit with coffee and earthy notes lingering on the finish. Delicate but quite lovely.

Light, has matured beautifully, perfect balance, soft fruit and brown sugar, hint of nuts, very pleasant.
