Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, sweet
Taylor Fladgate is one of the benchmark houses of the Douro Valley, and their Vintage Porto style is built for the long haul — rich and concentrated with layers of dried black fruit and dark chocolate, underpinned by firm tannins and a warming spirit backbone. As it opens, notes of coffee, spice, and dried fig emerge alongside a characteristic walnut and tobacco complexity. It's a serious, structured wine that rewards patience, whether cellared for years or enjoyed alongside bold, richly flavoured foods.
Serving: Serve at 14–16 °C.
