Note di degustazione
Subtle dark ruby with massive layers of different flavours. Good tannins and sufficient freshness. Massive thick fruit and tannins; really very grown-up, sophisticated and proper. Hint of juniper. Very complete. (JR)

The Taylor’s 2007 is in a rather odd phase at the moment, its sweet, marzipan-tinged bouquet tending to dominate the ripe black fruit. The palate is much more controlled, with very fine tannins, supremely well-judged acidity and a very elegant, composed finish that has more purity and poise than the Fonseca. I would give bottles another decade to allow the aromatics to calm down. Tasted May 2013.
Dark crimson. Great peppery nose. Very appetising indeed. Rich and yet overlaid by lovely zippiness. So Taylor! Just a bit dry on the end. This demands so much time. It will never be the sweetest (drier than the 2009) nor most concentrated. Still pretty tannic and dry. (JR)
Very different, slightly floral, touch of vanilla sweetness, very pure. Blackcurrants and pepper but so aromatic and quite lifted – higher VA than in Graham's? Spirit also shows more than in the Graham’s at the moment. Again very fine tannins, quite dry on the finish just now but still zesty and mouthwatering. (JH)
