I think it a shame that your decline has begun so early.

AHB is currently on 7995. He is about to switch from Taylor 1970 to Graham’s 1970.

But when will I reach Taylor 1985? After all, that is currently a more enjoyable wine than Graham...djewesbury wrote:Quite right too.jdaw1 wrote:AHB is currently on 7995. He is about to switch from Taylor 1970 to Graham’s 1970.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: Cruz Ruby Revisited
In typing my 1945 TNs I left Croft 1945 and became Taylor 1927. Not too shabby.

Re: Cruz Ruby Revisited
I just left the twentieth century: Cockburn 1927 → Taylor 1900.

Re: Cruz Ruby Revisited
I’m curious that after the unfiltered LBVs (Noval, Niepoort & Warre) we have three rather average tawnies (Graham’s “The Tawny”, Warre 10 Otima & Cruz Tawny). Did someone let Glenn tinker with the list?
