1970 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port

1970 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (11/11/2007)
I've had the pleasure to taste this wine 4 times now. This may be the best showing yet. The nose was incredibly fragrant giving lots of red fruits, chocolate, cinnamon, and plums. The palate was rich, lush, and full bodied with soft supple tannins. perfect balance and no heat from the aguardente. Just a nice warm finish that went on and on. (97 pts.) :D

1970 Taylor is a winner indeed! My favorite 70, just ahead of Fonseca and Croft, much ahead of Dow.
