Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades. (1/ 1989)
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Medium ruby, with a prune and ripe berry nose, medium-bodied, with ripe fruit flavors and rather lean, hard tannins. (Web-1989)
