  August 10, 2015 - This is still going strong, bursting with damsons, blackcurrants, raisins and figs. Full-bodied, rich and sweet. The alcohol content was a little too harsh and assertive early on, becoming better-integrated with time and air. In hindsight, we probably should have decanted it a while before drinking.

  January 13, 2013 - Nice dark fruit, smooth and satisfying; a little sweeter than most Taylor's and showing surprisingly young for it's age. Seems like very little development here over the last few years so i would not expect much upside but a good vintage for this LBV.

  May 9, 2010 - So this came out after the BBQ to enjoy with some nice Fuente reserve cigars. Very smooth with lots of nice dark berry fruit which seemed fresh and tasty.A little sweet and a little simple but perfect for the occasion. At a good place.
