Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalAlmond paste, cookie dough and a faint plastic / earthy note on the nose. Forty years in cask has worn this Tawny very gentle on the palate with a rounder mouthfeel than tawnies of youth. A fine line of orange oil is woven throughout the concentrated hazelnut, caramel and butter notes to a lightly grippy finish. Elegant and fairly seamless, quietly.Tasted: 21 December 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTaylor Fladgate 40 Year Old is made with estate fruit in miniscule quantities. This is the essence of port from its spicy (cinnamon) nutty nose to its ultra complex collection of scents and flavours. On the palate the attack is mellow and silky smooth - it doesn’t age in wood for forty years for nothing. The flavours are strong and nutty reminiscent of figs, raisins, caramel, dried apricots, orange peel and brown sugar. The finish is a long, soft warm complex affair that never really seems to go away that is drier than you might think. Buy and hold or drink now with a nutty cake dessert. A fabulous experience.Tasted: 15 July 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTaylor Fladgate 40 Year Old is made with estate fruit but in miniscule quantities. It's hard to imagine caring for a wine in wood for 40 years but care they do at Taylors and the result s are stunning. The essence of port its spicy nutty nose is as complex any you will ever smell yet the attack and palate is mellow and silky smooth as it gets. Any roll call of exotic spice is here along with a strong nutty, caramel, honey dried apricot flavours all within a tolerable oxidative environment that lends another layer of complexity super sipping wine and an experience few true oenophiles should miss.Tasted: 29 July 2012Tasted by: Prices:
