DESCRIPTION
Taylor Fladgate is a historic port house in the Douro Valley of northern Portugal. Taylor's were the first English port shippers to buy a property in the Douro, Lugar das Lages near Regua, in 1744, and the company still owns it. First Estate is its reserve ruby and a good introduction to the house style: intensely fruity, yet elegant and balanced.
It is blended from full-bodied young red wines from the Cima Corgo, the heart of the Douro. The selected wines age for three to four years in a mix of oak vats and casks, where they gain smoothness, and are then blended for a consistent style. Expect a deep ruby color and a potent nose of concentrated fruit, with blackcurrant, plum and licorice. The texture is luscious, held up by firm tannins. Rich, but easy to like.
It is ready to drink and does not need decanting. Serve it at 61 to 64F in a port or small white wine glass. It is made for the classic port and cheese pairing, especially Stilton or Roquefort, and also works with dark chocolate, brownies or a bowl of walnuts.
Bottle size: 750ml
