Wine Spectator, May 2010

This is a giant of a wine lurking behind fresh flowers and ripe fruit. Starts off in a friendly way then takes hold of the palate with intense blueberry and blackberry fruit and chewy yet fine tannins. Mouthpuckering but...

Wine & Spirits, December 2009

At its best, this wine is a vibrant, huge young Porto knocking out all the others with its delicious power-a Master of the Universe wine. It's a blast of schist, cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and black licorice, all held...

Reviewers have universally praised the 2007 vintage, with some standout evaluations. John Gilman from "View From The Cellar" awarded it an exceptional 97 points, highlighting its synergy between the inherent power of Taylor Fladgate and the beauty of the 2007 vintage. He describes the nose as "a beautiful synthesis" of cassis, black cherries, and other complex scents. On the palate, Gilman notes its "great elegance and intensity," coupled with "ripe, seamless tannins" and a "huge spine of acidity." He emphasizes the wine's balance, stating it is "remarkably stunning."

Wine Spectator's reviewer, James Suckling, assigns a high score of 96 points, characterizing the wine as "a giant of a wine lurking behind fresh flowers and ripe fruit." He praises its complex and long finish, noting that it "really kicks in on the finish" and deems it the best Taylor since 1994.

Wine Enthusiast also provides a favorable assessment, scoring it 95 points. The reviewer highlights the wine's "enticing violet and black currant aromas," followed by "ripe plum and spice flavors." They appreciate its balance, describing it as "opulent" and "beautifully made," with "fine layered tannins" and "exquisite final acidity."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gives it 94 points, describing it as being in an "odd phase" with a "sweet, marzipan-tinged bouquet" that currently dominates the ripe black fruit. However, the palate is praised for its "very fine tannins" and "supremely well-judged acidity," culminating in an "elegant, composed finish."

Wine & Spirits scores it 95 points, noting its "vibrant, huge" character and "delicious power." The review mentions a complex blend of "schist, cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, and black licorice," held together in a "supple grip." They predict it will be fascinating to compare this vintage to the 2003 as it ages over the next 50 years.

Overall, the 2007 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port is celebrated for its complexity, elegance, and potential for long-term aging.
