1955 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage Porto Douro Portugal Wine Tasting Note

The perfume, with its flowers, chocolate, orange rind, black cherry liqueur, almonds, and fresh baked pie crust is out of this world! The palate shines even brighter with its layers of sweet, chocolate coated black cherries, plums, licorice, and silky, warm, spicy end note that lingers is everything you could ask for in a perfectly aged, vintage port. Drink from 2025-2045.

A majestic experience. This is everything a great aged Port should be. Lush, opulent rich, deep, and velvety, with layers of sweet, dark chocolate coated, spicy fruits that build and linger, There is warmth but, it is soothing warmth that tastes and feels great. This is a sip and linger bottle that I'd be happy to drink anytime. Drink from 2024-2045.

At the end of the night, this was pulled on request, to pair with Cuban Cigars aged for 20 years. What a perfect combination. The wine sung with its pure black cherry liqueur, spice and chocolate character. Thick, rich, supple, long and warm, this was a treat. I'd drink Port more often if it did not require 60 years in a top vintage.

The perfume was enthralling. The palate presence was otherworldly. This was not as sweet as it was rich. In fact, decadent is a good description. Once again, the pairing of mature Port with aged Cuban cigars proved to be the perfect end to a sublime day.

Thick, rich, sweet, generous layers of black fruit, raisins, chocolate, earth, truffle and kirsch fill your glass and mouth. Great purity in the finish.
