Taylor Fladgate 30 Year Old Tawny - NV (750ml) ejohnson the 1981 Margaux is closest

the 1981 Margaux is closest in style to the 1979

The wine hits the palate with extraordinary purity

It is still very dark ruby/purple-colored

blackberries and black currants are found in this still youthful

opaque purple-colored wine is crammed with black fruits (blueberries and cassis)

Taylor Fladgate 30 Year Old Tawny - NV (750ml) ejohnson the 1981 Margaux is closestIt is my opinion that Taylor's tawny ports are the best of their type. When tasted against other tawnys, they all exhibit more aromatic personalities, greater fruit and ripeness, and a wonderful sweetness and length. The Thirty Year Old Tawny is drier than the Twenty Year, revealing more orange and brown color, more raisiny notes in its aromatics and flavors, and higher alcohol in the finish. Robert Parker
