Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2016 bursts with lavish black raspberry and blackberry fruit wrapped in dark chocolate and spice, carried by firm, tightly woven tannins that promise long life. Despite its power and depth, the wine retains a vibrant, juicy core and a long, linear finish that feels both polished and intense. A classic, structured Taylor that will reward patience with layers of complexity over decades.

Taylor Fladgate’s Vintage Port is an iconic, long-lived fortified wine from Portugal’s Douro Valley, produced only in exceptional “declared” years from top parcels at Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita, and Quinta do Junco. Characteristically powerful yet refined, it combines massive structure and deeply concentrated dark fruit with floral notes and a firm tannic backbone, built to evolve in bottle for many decades. Its pedigree and cellar-worthiness make it one of the benchmark collectible Vintage Ports in the world.
