A hot summer leaves its mark on the vineyard. The Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2009 comes from one such distinctive vintage in the Douro. This port combines ripe dark fruit with the robust structure characteristic of classic Vintage Port.
Taylor Fladgate was founded in 1692 and is one of the historic names in the world of port. The grapes come from the Douro Valley, where steep slopes and schist soils define the landscape. Vintage Port is made from a single harvest year and bottled after a relatively short period of aging in wood. Further aging takes place in the bottle.
2009 was a warm and dry year in the Douro. Taylor Fladgate chose to declare a Vintage Port from this harvest. The result is a concentrated wine with ripe fruit notes and a distinct tannin structure. This vintage demonstrates how the conditions of a single growing season can shape the character of a port.
Ripe cherry, black currant, plum, and cocoa can make up the bouquet. Over the years, dried fruit and spicy notes may become more pronounced, while the tannins gradually change. The exact evolution depends on how the bottle has been stored.
Store the bottle in a cool, dark place at a stable temperature. Stand it upright beforehand to allow any sediment to settle, then decant carefully. Serve slightly chilled. Blue cheese is a classic pairing, but this Vintage Port also deserves to be savored on its own.
