Lot #1190. Taylor Fladgate Vintage Porto 2000

Description: Consists of 1 Half Bottle, 0.375L
Region: Portugal, Douro, Oporto.
Score: 98 RP.
"Among the most saturated blue/purple/black-colored examples of the vintage, Taylor's 2000 tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids. Aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. Spectacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage." Wine Advocate #143, Oct 2002
Provenance: The Piano Cellar
Notes: Scuffed, damp stained, bin soiled, mold stained, nicked label.
