The 1955 Taylor came from the lot of ‟believed 1955” sold by Christies.
T55, at about D+4hr. Dark red, 70% opacity, which was much fuller colouration than at D+0. Quite dry and astringent, with lots of structure (acid and tannin) such little fruit as there was being plum. Smooth, soft and balanced. No heat. Patrick D suggested strawberry, which I couldn’t find. A very fine bottle.[url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=22045#p22045]Here[/url] jdaw1 wrote:JDAW, in a PM to AHB, wrote:5. Capsule metallic with black at sides, perhaps the same as 1 and 7. Black glass too dark to see branding. BN+2mm.
Because it was shared between 26 drinkers, only a small sample each. Alas.
