2000 Taylor Fladgate LBV Port

[Derek T.]

I will be having another Taylor this month but am drinking this now so thought I should throw it into the mix.

Taylor's LBV 2000
I have had more bottles of this wine than I would care to count :? Always available in the UK at between £5 and £8 a bottle making it a very good QPR entry level port.

Not decanted, slightly chilled

Colour is very dark. Raspberry nose with a little heat (it is a Taylor after all :? ) - Nice thick mouthfeel, almost chewy with lots of black fruits and a surprising amount of dry tanin for a filtered LBV. Finish is quite long for what this is.

I would advise people who look for good quality cheap port to seek this out and buy all you can when the price is at rock bottom (this bottle cost me £5 against £11 normal retail price).

Subsequent Edit I thought it worth mentioning that I have recently had the T's LBV 1999 and in the past had many other years LBV from Taylor and this is by far the best I have tasted.
