2009 was a debatable year for most shippers of Vintage Port. Some were impressed with the quality and others not. Clearly, the good folks at Taylor have scored huge with their wines — Taylor, Fonseca and Croft. This was my favourite of their portfolio. It is a full bodied and rich wine with an opaque purple-tinged colour. Violets, plums, cherries, spice and cocoa mesh together with outstanding length and 50 plus years of aging ahead of it.
