For The Love Of Port

Doing some more digging, Saccone & Speed was the distributor for Taylor Fladgate from 1957 to 1982. Most likely it's a 60's or 70's bottling.

The importer label is the only label on the back. Thanks Mike. I had guessed very early 90s, so that's really incredible.

I assume that because they were bottled young around 7-10 y.o. and by a good shipper, and presumably well stored, is why they have managed to survive that much bottle age without tasting like nothing.

It was from the mid to late 1970’s. Glad they’ve help up.

One question, should I keep this in the refrigerator now? I worry about how fast something like this will degrade once opened?

My vote would be yes, but you can experiment since you have several.

Yes. I would.

It's not the same vintage but the 2005 is quite a bottle! I bought one and after drinking it I bought 3 more. Plus it was around $20 Can. (around 14 Euros).
