Taylor Fladgate 40 Year Old Tawny Port 750ml

A sublime Port of very great age which shows the old olive-gold hue of its many years in cask. Decades of evaporation have concentrated this extraordinary wine to an exceptional density, with a powerful nose of dried fruit, honey and a touch of spice. Impressions of nutmeg, roasted coffee and an intense nuttiness converge both in the bouquet and on the palate. The wine’s rich, intense, voluptuous, almost viscous texture culminate in a finish of incredible length.

99 Points - Wine Spectator
An utterly profound and life-changing Tawny Port that represents the absolute pinnacle of the category. It presents an impossibly complex and kaleidoscopic nose of toasted almonds, rich caramel, dried figs, marzipan, and old library leather. The palate is not merely sweet but ethereally rich and silky, with a concentration of flavor that defies its age, offering layers of honey, orange marmalade, and exotic spices that linger for an astonishingly long, transformative finish. This is a legendary wine of immense depth and harmony.
98 Points - James Suckling
A masterpiece of blending and aging, this 40-year-old Tawny possesses a breathtaking array of aromas including butterscotch, walnut, candied citrus peel, and a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is miraculously vibrant and intense, with a seamless texture that carries an immense depth of flavor—think ancient Madeira, treacle, and spiced nuts—across a finish that lasts for minutes. It is a rare and sublime experience that showcases the art of the cooperage.
