1983 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port

[Bill Spohn]

1983 – the last pair sparked some discussion about how they compared now and how they would in future. This wine was fairly dark, in contrast to some reports, and showed little sign of bricking edges, and it had a spicy custard nose and some enticing berry fruit in the mouth, seemingly lower in acidity and a bit softer than some of the other vintages. It finished with good length and hints of chocolate.
