and 1% each of Petit-Verdot

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

the 1981 Margaux is closest in style to the 1979

It is still very dark ruby/purple-colored

the 1986 continues to evolve at a glacial pace

Taylor Fladgate 30 Year Old Tawny - NV (750ml) ejohnson and 1% each of Petit-VerdotIt 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
