I know that many of you will consider port wine "only" with your dessert or maybe something that you drink by the glass in a bar. Taylor's Fladgate Vintage Porto's are real wines that need your respect. As one of the oldest houses to produce port wine in Portugal, Taylor only declares about 3 vintages per decade. The 2003 has been elevated to Vintage and Robert Parker has already bestowed 98 (of a possible 100) points on this port. This port is sensational to say the least. This 2003 is deep, dark and robust in structure. It carries a robe of pure berry fruits with a touch of vanilla. Long and powerful, it will have a lifespan of many, many decades and best of all ; you can enjoy it now or cellar it away. Try this port and tread it like another bottle of wine. Have it with a nice cheese selection, specifically blue cheeses and you will be in heaven. This vintage port is available in 375ml which is the perfect size for two people.
