1970 Taylor
Posted: 20:04 Thu 16 Apr 2009
A lone bottle from a small mixed lot of well cellared bottles, bought three years ago.
English bottled, bottler unknown, but as most EB T70's have the same label and dark blue foil capsule, it was probably a contract bottler, working for the shipper.
I feel a bit selfish, hogging a bottle of this all to myself, but you only live once!
Decanted 7pm, not the cleanest decant, average amount of sediment.
First sip - minimal bottle stink, little bit of fire and initial lack of composure, but the classic fruit of this wine is fully there.
Looking good - more anon..
