Pale rim. A bit of turps on the nose. Hints of tea rose. Doesn't have any great length. Attractive but not as good as the 1982.
Consumed 1800-2100 on 02/11/22, decanted 0900 that morning.

Re: 1986 Taylor Terra Feita
40% opacity, mature red. Soft strawberries and violets on the nose. Lively fruit, gentle acidity at the front, dry in the finish. Balance not quite there, a bit one dimensional.
