Taylor Fladgate Sentinels Vintage Port 2024

Crafted by the legendary Port house Taylor Fladgate, Sentinels is sourced from selected high-altitude estate vineyards in the Douro Valley. The 2024 vintage opens with intensely dramatic aromas of dark blackcurrant, crushed blueberries, cassis, violets, rockrose, and subtle graphite minerality. Full-bodied, concentrated, and tightly wound on the palate, it exhibits exceptional depth of dark fruit supported by firm, muscular tannins and a long, powerful finish built for decades of cellaring.

Food Pairing: Pairs magnificently with rich blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, dark chocolate desserts, or enjoyed on its own as an extraordinary post-dinner digestif.

97 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of schist, violets and ripe blackberries, with an absorbing nose layered in dark fruit. The palate is structured, with grainy but long and integrated tannins, yet remains vibrant and energetic with a clear thread of black fruit. There is a youthful yet discreet lift, both aromatically and on the palate, that makes it immediately appealing, yet it has the structure and depth to reward patience. Drink now.
