Sadly, this was faulty, took a sip of this and it was very dirty. N/A

1942 Taylor, Audouzed for 2 hours and then decanted for a further 2½ hours. Bottled in Porto and sealed under a pink wax with only the Taylor symbol embossed on it. Sadly flawed with lots of bottle stink on nose and palate. N/R.
