Today’s Deal ~ Taylor Fladgate “325 Anniversary” -Limited Edition- Reserve Tawny Port NV (Portugal)

$35.95/bottle

Only 20 Bottles Available!!!

“To mark Taylor’s 325th anniversary, we have joined forces with single-handed yachtsman and sea ambassador, Ricardo Diniz, to re-enact Taylor’s first shipment of Port.

In 1692, an important chapter in the history of Port began. Job Bearsley, an English merchant, travelled to Portugal to venture into the wine business, founding the company we now know as Taylor’s. Today, it is one of the oldest and most renowned Port producers, and its Ports are considered amongst the finest in the world.

Recreating the history of that first Taylor’s shipment of Port to London, a cask of Port has been shipped from the quayside in front of Taylor’s Port cellars, in Vila Nova de Gaia, carrying a limited edition of a specially blended Port to celebrate the anniversary. The boat unloaded its important cargo on the banks of the River Thames. Then as today, England still is the main market for Port’s special categories.”

ALWAYS A GOOD TIME FOR PORT!

When it comes to dessert wines, we feel that Carpe Vino has one of the best selections for a restaurant/wine shop in the region.  From our extensive collection of Tokaji’s, to true port from the old country or even California-bred Prager Port Works in Napa…we got ya covered.  When it comes to Tawny Port…there is definitely one producer we set high up on a pedestal and that is Taylor Fladgate.  When this rare treat set sail our way we knew to welcome it with open arms because our faithful port fans would love it!  From the quality and craftsmanship of the wine, throwback era bottling, to a minuscule production…this PORT NEEDS TO BE IN ANY WINE COLLECTION.  With only 22 bottles to be had and only $35.95/bottle…do yourself a favor and click the BUY NOW button below.  Don’t trust us?  Read the reviews!!!

“Wine Enthusiast” Rating: 97 Points

“This is a superb blend of aged tawny Ports, blended to celebrate the company’s 325th anniversary. Filled with rich fruit, it has great depth and spicy richness although it is also impressively fresh. Dried fruits and red plums are lifted with a hint of smoky wood and good acidity. Like any tawny Port, it is ready to drink.”

“James Suckling” Rating: 93 Points

“A compelling tawny showing cooked fruits, Indian spice and hints of toffee as well as dried flowers. Full body, layered and dynamic on the palate with a sweet and dried fruit aftertaste. Some figs as well. Lightly tannic. Makes you want to curl up next to a fire. Drink now.”
