2011 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage

Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Monday, September 11, 2023 - Enjoyed over a few days.

It features a blue, purple, and blackberry driven perfume, with purple fruit, particularly assorted plum (fresh, preserved, and dried) top notes, along with sweet herbs, dark chocolate, and pipe tobacco. Appealing mineral ore notes linger behind all the prettiness.

Powerful and bracing. It packs the substance to age for at least two decades. Of the three '11 Vintage Ports tasted recently, this showed the most heat (long alcy burn) at the back. Likely to round out in time. Improvement seems possible. 95-96.
