Community Tasting Note

97 Points

Sunday, October 21, 2012 - This has always been a very forward and easy to drink wine. I have had it on numerous occasions and it never disappoints. Nose rich with sweet fruits, plums come to mind. Sweet smooth flavor. The tannins have mostly melted away. Still with lots of fruit and a nice finish that lasts for a couple of minutes. I know this sweet/softer style of fladgate had some critics concerned about its future, my opinion is that it has turned out well. I have converted many new port drinkers with this wine. Today was no exception. Drinking exceptionally well right now. Highly recommended especially at current reasonable price levels. Drink up and enjoy!
