35% Gamay, 35% Malbec, 30% Pinot Noir
Rich red and black fruit aromas (cherry blackcurrant per the label) and undertones of flintiness. A rich body with tart cherry acidity, ripe blackberries, a lot of spices and flinty minerals to give it a dark side. Yum!!! — 4 months ago

My 2nd favorite 20 yr behind Grahams. Ramos Pinto is good as well, but seems to have to bottle to bottle variability issues…. Taylor is a great standby at a good price. — 4 years ago

Tons of vanilla and cinnamon. Very creamy mouthfeel. A bit of a spicy kick in the teeth up front but then finishes loooooong and smoooooth. Wow. — 6 years ago

1961 vintage. Great nuttiness and caramel notes. Lacking the back end oomph of vintage port. Still, pretty quaffable. — 6 months ago

Taylor Fladgate Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Porto 1995, Portugal

#AgedWineTuesday

Ruby in color and cloudy, with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Sweet nose with cedar, vanilla, honey and chocolates.

Sweet on the palate with black fruits, tobacco, cereal, vanilla, licorice, light wood, chocolates, coffee, light cola and peppercorn.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 29 year old is still drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced and elegant. Rich and fruit forward.

I don't see it getting any better from this point on. Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and a gorgeous dessert wine.

93 points.

$100. — 10 months ago

Fantastic. Perfect age. Older world. Feels and tastes like a bottle many times more expensive. — 4 years ago

Supple, jammy, silky mouthfeel, grapefruit, reminds me of the smokey charcoal of a Vacqueyras and the fruit of a luscious Pinot.

A recommended Rhône from the local shop owner on 23rd street.

A bouquet that brings the memory of clementines.

This was a head scratcher. Don’t think I’ve had a wine like this. It wanted to reveal white chocolate and marzipan, but instead it tasted like green tea/chamomile coated almonds. It had some buttered pear and honeyed melon notes on the finish...very unique. — 6 years ago
