A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF RARE VINTAGE PORT, CLARET AND BURGUNDY
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Taylor--Believed Vintage 1935
Very damaged remains of original label. Extra label states "12 Holies St - Cavendish Square, J-L -....." Level top-shoulder
Tasting Note: Outstandingly the best 1935 and one of the greatest ports of this century. Tasted and drunk on 27 occasions since 1953. My notes describe its appearance as ranging from medium to very deep, but this might well result from variations in light in dining-rooms as well as different bottlings. The bouquet and taste more consistently marvellous: full, rich, spicy, touch of vanilla and liquorice, overall harmony, depth and power; still sweet, fairly full-bodied, almost chewy, with the inimitable Taylor backbone, great length and ethereal aftertaste. Perfection....dining in the Dairy, Waddesdon Manor, and with classic bouquet, drying out a little but with inimitable Taylor backbone. Superb. Last noted dining at Bill Baker's, Jan 2001. At best ***** but don't leave it another 20 years. M.B.
