Reviews of 1997 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port
96 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 2000
...stunning aromatics of blueberries, blackberries, licorice, and iron, this spectacular vintage port is one of the stars of the vintage. Extremely full-bodied, with silky tannin, spectacular concentration and purity, multiple flavor levels, and an evolved, forward personality, this is an exquisite yet precocious 1997 vintage port....

...Great minerally aromas of black plum, black cherry, roasted meat and deep spices. Very sweet and very dense, with youthfully backward black fruit, mineral and bitter chocolate flavors. Finishes with wonderfully ripe, sweet tannins and superb persistence and grip...

About 1997 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port
About the Winery Taylor
High up in the Douro Valley is Taylor Quinta de Vargellas, one of the world's
truly great vineyards, comparable in quality to Chateau Latour. The finest Port is produced from grapes grown on the steep and rocky slopes of
the Upper Douro and its tributaries. Vines have been grown on these remote
hillsides since pre-Roman times.
About the Wine
"Taylor’s finest and rarest wine, the very pinnacle of port. Only in a year when everything is perfect does Taylor's ‘declare’ a vintage. With the company’s reputation at stake, ‘declaring’ is not taken lightly, since it invites a knowledgeable and worldwide audience to judge whether perfection has indeed been achieved. The ultimate collector’s wines, Taylor's Vintage Ports will last for fifty years or more. They are renowned for their massive structure, concentration of flavor and distinctive ‘masculine’ style. Bottled after two years in wood, they continue to mature for decades in the cellar, slowly attaining the sublime elegance and power which are the hallmarks of the Taylor's style."
