97/100 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2003
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, Portugal

We love the way Taylor is put together. Always so solid with powerful dense fruit, flecked with floral (violet) notes. The color is opaque with a licorice laced, black fruit flavours, brown sugar, spice and molasses. Interminably long in the mouth showing off a youthful finish packed full of plums chocolates and raisins. It seems to linger on the palate forever in perfect balance. Lock and load this into the cellar for the next century.
