- 2003 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (10/25/2005)
Tasted at the Fonseca Port Lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia - Closed nose. Ridiculously dark. Full bodied. Not a huge wine. Certainly not as big as the 1992 or 1994 and less fierce tannins than the 2000. Tannins do come in very early and make the wine appear more medium bodied. Very fine tannins though. Aging may change this as the tannins better integrate. Hard to evaluate right now. 90 points if forced to score now. (90 pts.)
