Description
Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 19452lbsl, 2nl, 2lcc
Bottle (2)
"Taylor's 1945 Fladgate Vintage Port has a deeper color than the '45 Graham. The aromatics are detailed with remnants of red fruit, wild mint, Cuban cigars and pencil box that seem to flourish with aeration, gaining more intensity with each swirl of the glass. The palate is exquisitely balanced and poised with perfect acidity. It does not quite possess the "Doric" pillars of the stentorian '48 Taylor's, but you could argue that this might offer more subtlety and finesse. Hints of raspberry, cedar, marjoram and maraschino cherries that remain quite linear and correct. This is a "serious" Port in keeping with the style of Taylor's, a Port that demands your respect. Perhaps the '45 Graham has more personality but the '45 Taylor's has the gravitas." (97 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, July 2015)
"The 1945 Vintage Port from Taylor's has perhaps always been overshadowed by the legendary 1948, but it deserves respect. This particular vintage was bottled in Portugal because of postwar restrictions that prevented bottling in England. It has a gorgeous cassis, clove and menthol nose that explodes from the glass, developing scents of Christmas cake and pain d'épices with time. The palate displays perfect acidity, unerring transparency and maybe more refinement than the 1924 Taylor's tasted in the same week. Astonishing length, from an astonishing Port." (98 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Dec. 2019)
