2009 Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port, Portugal

The 2009 Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port is a rich and smoothly textured dessert wine with dense blackberry fruit flavors, smooth tannins, and a light touch of acidity. It has a deep, inky black color with a purple rim and a nose of concentrated black woodland fruit, complemented by raspberry jelly and a touch of tannic structure. The palate is explosive with ripe black fruit flavors, leading into a long finish with a tight tannic embrace.

This vintage is known for its massive structure and powerful fruitiness, yet it maintains elegance, poise, and finesse
