Vivid ruby colored rim around a deep purple center. On the nose, the first impression is of woodland berries and rich, jammy aromas of blackcurrant. Around this dense core of ripe dark berry fruit are leafy scents of mint and wild herbs, a subtle spiciness and fleeting cedary notes of cigar box. The palate is underpinned by firm, linear tannins and lifted by a lively acidity. Thick, luscious cassis flavors blend with raspberry and apricot and carry through into the very long finish. An archetypal Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage, elegant and restrained, with great quality and purity of fruit.

The latest incarnation of this most famous of Late Bottled Vintage Ports has so many of the brand's characteristics. It is on the dry side, a balanced wine with acidity as well as the sweet black fruits and with some tannins to give the wine shape. The Port is bottled ready for drinking.

This is accessible already, with just a little gutsy edge left to settle in, but enough ganache, black forest cake and steeped plum notes to make for a fun, if slightly chunky textured drink. Drink now through 2025.
