1985 Taylor
Posted: 14:15 Tue 24 May 2016
T85 sourced from Tesco in the half-price sale last year.
Decanted 8 hours beforehand, colour reasonable, if a little light for its age. Overall my impression was "stewed". Tasted rather flat, with some soft sweet summer fruits; rather lacking in the expected punch or any wow factor. TTF86 served for comparison was far superior.
Might have been stored in overly warm conditions and not a good omen for my other bottle from Tesco.
