Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2009 is a port with a distinctive character, born in a warm year in the Douro. This double magnum offers a special expression of a wine that is meant to continue aging in the bottle.
Since its founding in 1692, Taylor Fladgate has held a prominent place in the history of port. The house is known for its Vintage Ports, which develop their character over many years in the bottle. The grapes come from the Douro Valley, where the steep vineyards and climate provide the foundation for concentrated wines.
The 2009 growing season was warm and dry. Taylor Fladgate declared the harvest a Vintage Port and produced a wine with ripe dark fruit and firm tannins. It is a vintage that clearly showcases the power of the Douro. In a large bottle, the wine’s development can proceed more gradually under similar storage conditions, which makes this size particularly interesting.
Black currant, ripe plum, cherry, and cocoa may come through in the glass. As the port ages, spices and dried fruit may become more prominent. How the wine presents itself today also depends on the condition of the bottle.
Store the double magnum in a cool, dark place, away from significant temperature fluctuations. Before opening, stand the bottle upright and decant it carefully to separate any sediment. Serve slightly chilled, for example with blue cheese. Even without food, this port is worth taking the time to savor.
