Taylor--Vintage 1955 Three bottled by Corney & Barrow with embossed metal capsules, one damaged, without labels. Eight bottled by Kinloch & Co. with damaged wax capsules and bin-soiled labels Tasting note: An opaque blockbuster when young, astringent and unready up until the early 1980s. In the early 1990s still fairly deep-coloured; a vast, deep, high-toned, spicy nose, fairly sweet, full-bodied, packed with fruit, extract and tannin and acidity. Then, in April 1993, served at a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in honour of the President of Portugal (impressive: occasion and wine)Last noted at a dinner in Los Angeles, Feb 1998 **** M.B.
