Taylor’s Kingsman Edition Very Old Tawny

Just 700 bottles of this. I am a sucker for good packaging and this looks quite impressive. I hope the port is as lovey, I further hope that I get to taste it and have a forlorn hope of getting one.

Interest seems to be mounting and I think a placemat would be very useful. So if you can oblige it would be much appreciated.

If I could afford it, I think the money would be better spent on a few days at the Yeatman and then drinking a few glasses of Scion in Dick’s Bar instead (if they still offer it at €100 for 100ml).

Re: Wine-Searcher.com Photos

Contact Wine Searcher, assert ownership and rights to the picture and ask for picture royalties. This is likely to be determined by traffic to the page, and with the wine in question it is likely to be a large payout 😜

On a serious note though, their response would be interesting.
