Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port

Portugal - "Very friendly & expressive in feel, with lush waves of boysenberry, blackberry & acai berry fruit rolling through, flanked by light applewood & licorice root notes that assert themselves a bit more on the finish. There's ample structure in reserve & plenty of length..."

Porto, Douro, Portugal- " It comes in with 100 grams of residual sugar. A step up (or two) on the 2016, this shows fine depth, more focus, vivid fruit and serious power. It's not particularly thick, austere or astringent, but this is built for the long haul." (Barrel Score 98-100)

Porto, Douro, Portugal- "Remarkably harmonious already, with a beautiful display of unadulterated blueberry, blackberry and plum sauce flavors that fan out, while anise, ganache and cassis accents fill in. So lush and seductive through the finish, it's nearly drinkable..."

Douro, Portugal- "Inky purple in color, this youngest Taylor vintage Port boasts a floral, wonderfully open and appealing bouquet, backed by layers of rich fruit. What make this wine extra special is the seductive texture-somewhere between creamy syrupy-and ample length."

Douro, Portugal - "This is really the most amazing young Taylor's I have ever tasted. Full-bodied and lightly sweet with super power and intensity. So racy and focused. Yet this has such muscle and intensity." [WS 2018 Top 100 #23]

Douro, Portugal- "Intensely fruity and dripping with luscious dark cherry, blackberry and blueberry flavors, leading to touches of sandalwood. Medium-grained tannins carry through to the lush, spice- and chocolate-filled finish. This shows fine grip and balance, with a very modern feel"

Douro, Portugal- "...has a multifaceted, Pandora's Box of a nose that is mercurial in the glass: cassis at first before blackberry and raspberry... followed by wilted rose petals and Dorset plum. The palate is sweet and sensual, plush and opulent..."[BARREL SCORE 96-98]

Portugal- "This has an enticing warm fig bread aroma, followed by gently mulled plum, raisin and blackberry fruit flavors. Light toffee and baker's chocolate hints course through the finish."

Douro,Portugal- "Bottled in July 2006, this wine remains deliciously open, showcasing floral, violet scents intertwined with rich layers of plum and chocolate. Although the first structure is evident, there's more than adequate fruit for balance. A combination of power and elegance."

Portugal- "This is a magnificent, opulent wine, with rich tannins and equally rich black fruits. While it has plenty of ripeness that gives it a generous character, it never wavers in its firm strucutre. It will have an immensely long, impressive life."

Porto, Douro, Portugal- " It is fresh, complex for the style and very tasty, finishing with a sweet edge. The atmospheric bottle will make a nice gift, but it will be a pleasure to drink as well."
