Had this many times-bottle stink is trait with this wine.

This and the 1912 are two of my favorites.

Again 5/15/17 17+/20.

No.

The first was a 1 or 2 off.

But the 2/10 one was from a batch that I have had many times.

Last year a off bottle-my first in 40 years.

Today a lesser bottle(16/20)-most have been 19/20 or higher?

Any other opinions?

Nose: strong-nice for age

Body: full

Taste: nice on the younger side-some complexity

Aftertaste: medium

It had a lead capsel.

Moses:

Overnight is too long-Roy's times are a better guide.

Had 50 times most 90% good but better at $7.25 future price.

Had a 77 G tonite(77 G is the most varable VP ever) but good tonite-lucky.

Disagree with Andy and many of you on Taylor (lost 10 years-the 80's)-I think Taylor 80,83, and 85 were very good wines.

I have been a Taylor and Fonseca fan for 40 years to the max. But what about Grahams. The first big trade was 2 1/2 cases of 1963 Grahams for 1 case of 1966 Lafite(a very so-so wine). One of my best trades. Tonite 4 days after opening-a glass of 1963 Grahams-great. I may be too centered on F & T.

I agree had one Thur. it was great much better than the 66 K. Tasted with a 1966 Fonseca(the best 66 F I've had in

more than 30 years) and the 68 K was equal.
