Taylor Fladgate Vintage Porto 1997 is black purple; opaque. Dense, tight, rich full fruit nose. Cedar and dark berry aromas. A big, full bodied wine with great finesse and style. Great character and potential.
"Very ripe on the nose, with raisin and dried flowers. Full-bodied, medium-sweet and chewy, racy and rich. Still needs time, but you can drink and enjoy if you decant a few hours before. Best after 2011." 10,000 cases made. -JS, Wine Spectator, Score: 94
