Taylor Fladgate is one of the original founding Port houses and has remained a benchmark among Port producers throughout its history. This Limited Edition Reserve Tawny, released in a commemorative, early 18th Century style bottle, is a tribute to Taylor Fladgate’s long history and mastery of the art of cask aging and blending. Carefully put together for this from specially selected Ports from Taylor Fladgate’s extensive aged Tawny stocks, aged in seasoned oak Port pipes. Its character is unique for this bottling, with the characteristic Taylor Fladgate richness and with its distinctive grip on the finish.

This is an overachiever for its young age, easily 10-Year quality (although Taylor's makes a pretty big 10?so perhaps that is not a good comparison with Taylor's own 10). It is fresh, complex for the style and very tasty, finishing with a sweet edge. The atmospheric bottle will make a nice gift, but it will be a pleasure to drink as well.
