NV Taylor Ruby (First Estate)
Deep red with a wide rim. Fruity nose with sweet raspberries and vanilla ice-cream showing initially on the palate; lots of fruit and firm tannins before a great chewy finish of fine length. My preferred reserve ruby from the TFP portfolio. 87/100. 04-May-16
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
