Taylor's 1977 Vintage Port

Wine Spectator 98/100: There is an explosion of fruit and tannins...total harmony. Deep dark ruby, with blackberries and violets on the nose, full-bodied, with masses of blackberry flavours, full, hard tannins and a very long finish.

MWH Wines: An undoubtedly splendid vintage, the 1977 vintage Ports combine power, elegance and refinement with the ability to live long, impressive lives.  The best, such as the Taylor 1977, have much more to give although they are, finally, ready to enjoy.  Nutty tones are just starting to creep into this full, complex, delicious wine.  Overripe bramble fruit, spices and a touch of minty spirit, this is a leading 1977 Vintage port. Stunning now and with time on its side.
