Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2018 delivers concentrated blackberry, blueberry and plum fruit wrapped in cassis, dark chocolate, anise and a cool hint of mint, all supported by fine, firm tannins and vibrant acidity that carry through a long, precise finish. Powerful yet poised, it already shows impressive purity and fragrance, but clearly has the structure to gain depth and complexity over many 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.
