I think it a shame that your decline has begun so early.

AHB is currently on 7995. He is about to switch from Taylor 1970 to Graham’s 1970.

But when will I reach Taylor 1985? After all, that is currently a more enjoyable wine than Graham... :twisted:

In typing my 1945 TNs I left Croft 1945 and became Taylor 1927. Not too shabby.

I just left the twentieth century: Cockburn 1927 → Taylor 1900.

The ranks changed since the image above. As Dow 1896 is in, presumably the change happened in response to that question.

I’m curious that after the unfiltered LBVs (Noval, Niepoort & Warre) we have three rather average tawnies (Graham’s “The Tawny”, Warre 10 Otima & Cruz Tawny). Did someone let Glenn tinker with the list?
