Taylor--Vintage 1970
Levels: bottom neck or better; embossed wax capsules, lightly bin soiled and torn labels
Parcel: lots 659-660
"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. Their tawnys are also among the very best, though somewhat expensive. The 1970 fabulous, a broodingly dense-colored, backward port that has all the signs of future greatness, provided one is willing to cellar it until the early 1990s." Robert Parker, Buying Guide, 2nd Edition (1989)
