Taylor's LBV
Posted: 21:36 Sun 08 Apr 2018
I noticed that my rank is "Taylor’s LBV". This status impels me to write about my last tasting. We had a tasting at a port wine friend who offered us a spectacular and surprising tasting of Taylor's LBV. We are devoted Vintage lovers but this LBV tasting showed some surprising longevity of some LBV.
We tasted:
1) Taylor's 1981 LBV (bottle opened for 4 days)
2) Taylor's 1981 LBV (bottle opened the same day)
3) Taylor's 1994 LBV
4) Taylor's 1974 LBV
5) Taylor's 1972 LBV
1981 was the best of the lot but 1974 was surprisingly good for being from such a bad year. 1994 was the disappointment but that might have been a less perfect bottle.
