The Fladgate Partnership 2017 Taylor’s Vintage Port
Tasting Note
Opaque Black/ Purple
A ripe, structured and very mineral nose with classic, masculine and tight blackcurrant/ cherry. Hints of grape skins, raspberry, dark chocolate and earth follow.
Off-sweet, soft acidity, high tannins. It shows a beautiful, restrained sweetness in part due to its intense minerality. Incredibly deep but tight at this moment with a muscular structure of blackcurrant/ cherry, dark chocolate and midnight violets. Masked, tannic finish but wonderfully ripe and elegant with citrus, herbal and mineral notes. This will age gracefully for decades. (CG)
