1980 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port – Red fruit and some herbal notes on the nose. Intense mouthfeel with raspberry and chocolate. The tannins are still very much present, but all well balanced. This wine has a rounded mouthfeel, but still showing a lot of youth and fruit. This one needs more time. 93 points. 11/20/2021
