Re: 1985 Taylor
T85. Dark red, 50% opaque. Of only mid weight, which is not as good as several recent showings of T85. Grapes, and perfume notes. Some heat.

Dark. Some caramel on the nose - sweet, anyway. But not to taste - some sourness to my mouth, some heat (quite fiery...)

Deep red and mature; 70% opaque. A touch of heat on the nose, showing some strawberries but less developed than the 1983. Neutral entry, surprisingly hollow at first but sweet strawberry jam eventually comes through on the palate together with a lovely cedar overtone. Wonderful deep aftertaste with a huge flash of cedar before a very long black chocolate aftertaste of long length - a great finish. 87/100. 02-Apr-13. Decanted 3 hours.
