TN: A long day's journey into 2000 Taylor Fladgate Port

The things you do when on vacation…

Just opened the 1/2 bottle 30 minutes ago. The wine is 100% sound and correct. Balance is spot on. Needs time to unfurl. Will check in again after about 4 hours.

i have two half bottles ready for Christmas by the fire…I will be interested in your final analysis!

I have a couple of the 750s put away. Target is next May when my younger daughter turns 21 (birth year port) and my older daughter gets her undergrad degree…

Opened a 97 the other night. Have a couple of 2000’s still sitting.

Did the 97 need some air? Somehow I ended up with only one 97 and it will be popped this Christmas. Then its onto the 2000’s+ for me too. Cheers!

My 750s are off-site. That’s a good thing because this wine is freaking delicious.

More after dinner.

Going on four hours since I opened it. Laura says “ yum.” It’s surprisingly medium versus full bodied. Balance, balance, balance. It’s worth opening a bottle now, as it’s just so drinkable. The balance suggests it’s likely to be immortal.
