Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com – 17
Pale brick. Smoky, stony and savoury nose, underpinned by some fudgy, dried strawberry. Attractive depth of fruit and a fair tannic backbone. Dark-chocolate and leather finish. Holding up quite well. (TJ)
Anticipated maturity: 1995-2025
Robert Parker – 90
Certainly more mature in colour than the -70 or the -77, this has a light, more feminine nose with wild strawberry, cherry, a touch of graphite and sawdust. Not complex but clean and fresh. Medium-bodied palate, much more fruit-driven than others in this decade and perhaps lacking the same structure. But it is clean, quite precise with an attractive smooth texture. A less intellectual Taylor’s to imbibe without too much thinking! The youngest Taylor’s I would recommend to drink now. Tasted November 2007.
