A SUPERB PRIVATE COLLECTION FEATURING FIRST GROWTH CLARET, GRAND CRU BURGUNDY FROM LEADING PRODUCERS AND VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE
Recently removed from excellent cellarage
Taylor--Vintage 1994
In original wooden case
Tasting note: When tasting young vintage ports, Taylor is always the most backward. Yet potentially, it has the capability to be the most majestic. This classically made, opaque purple-colored wine is crammed with black fruits (blueberries and cassis). It reveals high tannin and a reserved style, but it is enormously constituted with massive body, a formidable mid-palate, and exceptional length. It is a young, rich, powerful Taylor that will require 10-15 years of aging. Compared to the more flashy, forward style of the 1992, the 1994 has more in common with such vintages as 1977 and 1970. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2045.
97 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #107, October 1996
