Color: Pinkish red, slightly thin for a ruby

Palate: Thinness comes out here on the palate too. Same fruit found in the nose and palate, finishes with standard sweetness, but more unctuous with the lower acidity. Finishes somewhat harsh. Still, not bad for the price!
Taylor 1997 Portugal 750ml
On first opening it, this wine gave off some wonderfully sweet and complex aromas, very reminiscent of roasted meats, with a savoury-sweet, chargrilled note. This sweet, meaty, aroma stayed with the wine over the three days, with little touches of caramel.

Taylor Tawny Special Reserve 30 year old 750ml Portugal
Smoky, deeply pitched aroma of toasted almond. Full and sweet, with impressive fruit and inner-mouth perfume. Minerally, firm and bright, but a bit more fiery than the 30-year-old version from Fonseca.
