Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port, 2009

Port has become a Christmas tradition at my house. For those not familiar with it, Port is a fortified wine from Portugal.  It is usually a sweet red fortified wine served after dinner.

This year I am having the Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port, 2009.

 Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port, 2009

Wine: 

Location:  Portugal

Sugar Content:  97g/L

Alcohol:  20%

Price:  $18.55 (Current sale $16.55)

Vintages number: 46946

This Port is a very deep red colour with a scent of sweet prunes.

This sweet fortified wine has a  flavour of raisins and a slight spice.  It is extremely smooth and silky on the tongue and a pleasure to drink. Sipping this in front of a roaring fire after a traditional turkey Christmas dinner is an ideal way to begin the evening.  This is one of the best ports I have tried particularly at this price.  I will be buying this again during the holiday season.  I highly recommend this port for people who like sweet, fortified wines.

Recommendation:   Uncork
