Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port
Portuguese Fortified
Dark cherry, plum and blackcurrant lead, with cocoa, dried herbs and warm spice adding savoury depth. Rich and full, the palate balances generous sweetness with supple tannins and well-judged acidity, keeping the dense fruit composed. A light smoky note gathers through the finish, which remains smooth, persistent and distinctly satisfying without feeling heavy.

The palate is remarkably balanced, placing concentrated fruit within a firm mineral and tannic frame. Lively acidity keeps the texture poised, and the flavours continue with clarity through a long finish. Decant carefully and serve with blue cheese or walnuts.
