Re: 1985 Taylor VP
Yikes that's expensive. It's not difficult to find the Graham or Fonseca in the $85 range, and either of those is much nicer than the Taylor.
I suppose some people will happily pay the premium for the perfect provenance, but that seems like a pretty steep premium to me.

Ya, it's on the expensive side, but 1985 Dow has been released from a local distributor's warehouse at $150 a bottle. The bottles are of perfect provenence, but $150 is a lot of money for that...

Has anyone had the 85 Taylor recently? Last I tried it, it was a muted sleeper, devoid of much of what makes Taylor a perennial favorite with many Port lovers. I can't afford the Canadian premium to try it again, just to hope that it is better.

Good at best, especially when paired with its sibling: Fonseca.

That's quite expensive

Ann,
How much Port do you see in Kenya and what kind of prices do you pay there?
