Taylor [1945] Taylor [1945] Believed 1945, levels into neck, remains of labels only, '5' of vintage still legible on 1 label, capsule of this bottle intact, 1947 bottling date legible on other (different) label, capsule of this bottle half missing but cork still covered On its 70th birthday, one has to ask oneself, is this the most perfect Port of all? As it rolled round the mouth in voluptuous mode, all felt it had to be a candidate. Rich, sweet and full of cherry kernels, it just seems eternal. It is certainly mega memorable.
