Limited Editions325th Anniversary
To mark the 325th Anniversary of the foundation of the house we have decided to release a Taylor Fladgate 325th Anniversary Limited Edition Port.
This unique blend has been made from the extensive reserves of tawny stocks stored in the firm’s lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia. Wines that were destined for ageing as 10, 20, 30 and 40 Year Old Tawny lots have been carefully selected by Taylor Fladgate's Head winemaker, David Guimaraens and blended to form this opulent and seductive aged tawny.
The bottle is based on a unique late 17th Century sealed bottle, first made at about the same time as the foundation of Taylor Fladgate in 1692. It is the earliest example of an intact bottle bearing the merchant’s mark, in this case the ‘4XX’ Symbol still used as the Taylor Fladgate trademark to this day.
This opulent and seductive aged tawny is a fitting tribute to Taylor Fladgate's 325th anniversary and to the firm’s expertise in ageing and blending the finest cask aged ports.
TASTING NOTES
Deep chestnut brown core encircled by a narrow brick rim. A rich figgy nose with a background of toffee and mocha, notes of plum and apricot, spicy hints of blackpepper, nutmeg and fleeting scents of jasmine, all come together in a heady complex harmony. Dense and luscious on the palate, with a wonderful velvety smoothness. The mellow flavours of butterscotch and molasses merge with rich jammy red berry flavours, a perfect blend of youth and maturity.
