1991 Taylor-going down IMO

Post by John Vachon »

A big fan of Taylor. Got a mixed case(full&1/2) in early 1990's.

At first a big fan but after 10 years a slide. Over the last 5-7 years not a fan at all(hard to drink).

Why very good potential? The 80-83-85 were better over the long haul.

The last I had it was in 2008, best I can tell. Based on my note then it was nice but was clearly an early drinker. Most 1991's I've had recently are quickly reaching maturity or are already there. Thanks for the data point on this one.

I had it most recently in 2014, at Andy's house, and thought it still had lots of life left. You had it then too Andy.
