1988 Taylor Terra Feita

Post by winesecretary »

From half. 30 minute decant.

Looks fully mature. Orange at the rim. 40% opaque. Tobacco and glace cherry on the nose. Rich and ripe glace cherry on the palate, with tobacco again late. Discernibly the same family as a 2005 I had back in April. Almost no grip at the end.

On this showing, in half, while very pleasurable, fully ready, possibly on the downward slope.
