Late Bottled Vintage Porto Port Blend 2019

Doug Powers
9.1

Big, rich, ripe LBV with awesome fruit and structure, lacks the subtlety of the 1977 Graham’s vintage, but a great LBV as a sipper!! — a day ago

If you find yourself in Oporto, visit their tasting room and ask for a tasting of their Scion. Only available there. It was $90 euro a tasting in 2015. Barrels placed in barrel in or around 1886 before phylloxera and forgotten about for a very long time. A bottle was 5k. One of 4 wines I have given a perfect score. Heavenly!!!!

So, @Somm David T, thank you for the advice — we last visited Taylor-Fladgate in February of 2019, got a few nice pictures of the male peacock with the incredible plumage, but knew nothing about the Scion. If/when we go back to Porto, I will ask next time (can I use your name so they don’t think I’m just another American idiot/loser??) — sounds incredible, though, thanks!!

@Somm David T, also, we’ll be opening a 1977 Taylor Vintage Porto soon as well, I’ll report here how it was (purchased back in the early 1980s, with my other 1977s)!! Cheers!!

$12.99? Are you kidding? This is a good rose for twice that. Great acidity, a little tartness, strawberry. Cab and cab franc. — 20 days ago

The fragrant nose shows green apple, lemon, pear, starfruit, and subtle fresh herbs. Medium body with round texture that balances the high acidity nicely. Touch of seashell on the refreshing finish.

A delightful Chenin Blanc. — 23 days ago

v07. Amazing! Deep purple color. Soft, dusty, slightly toasted nose. Rich, pleasing, blackberry fruit. Long, round, velvety smooth, slightly astringent finish. So good…last bottle! — 3 months ago

Enjoyable blend. Moderate fruit in both nose and palate on opening. Smoothed out with some time. Great value. Will get another — 10 days ago
