1985 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 7:13 am
Served blind in a decanter.
It has a really old nose to it, soft and flowery but a bit spirity. The palate has some very nice cinnamon and spice but with a meduim-long finish. I guessed a VP from 1977 and indicated "drink up in the next 3-5 years" on my notes. To my surprise, it was the 1985 Taylor's. (I must correct myself from another post, as this was the best bottle of this I've ever had) and I still only gave it 91 points.
