Axel Probst: Due to the shortage of glass at the time in England, Taylor’s 1945 Vintage Port was all bottled in Portugal. This became the rule throughout Portugal some 29 years later, in 1974. Very dark red color. A fresh, intense, and complex bouquet, with tobacco, herbs, coffee, and still some residual red-berry notes. A complex and balanced palate, with soft tannins and a perfectly integrated acidity, coffee, and fresh herbs. A multilayered, very long, but balanced finish. Now to 2050.
