Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 80 pts. and median of 80 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text

Tasted by Jeff Leve on 11/5/2016 & rated 80 points: On the one hand, I realize tasting wine from 1900 is a rare treat. On the other hand, this was no treat to taste, as the wine had clearly slipped into senility. Highly acidic, the wine offered the aromas of dark chocolate covered oranges and cocoa and a tea color that reminded more of a Madeira than a Vintage Port. While this was very cool to think about, it was less than cool to taste. (2945 views)

Taylor (Fladgate)

Producer Website

Taylor's vintage ports are renowned for their massive structure, concentration of flavour and distinctively masculine style. Taylor's Port is also renowned for being amongst the longest lived of all ports.

Robert Parker: "This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades."

Port Blend

Over a hundred varieties of grapes (castas) are sanctioned for port production, although only five (Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Francesa, and Touriga Nacional) are widely cultivated and used.
