Description
Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 19855bn, 3ts, owc
Bottle (12)
Property from the cellar of a Manhattan lady. Most wines purchased on release and stored at a professional temperature and humidity controlled facility.
"The 1985 Taylor's Vintage Port was one of my "go-to" Ports around 20 years ago, however, I suspect it has lost some of its initial vigor since then. It just lacks the gumption on the nose that I expected, yet it is still attractive with red berry fruit, clove and dried fig. It is rather muffled compared to say, the 1992 or 1994. The palate is lightly spiced, quite peppery on the entry, a fleshier take on Taylor's although, this bottle suggests has lost some of its substance in recent years. Perfectly drinkable now but I would not cellar this as long as the aforementioned vintages." (91 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2018)
