Wine Spectator 95 points – This is lovely, displaying warm date, toffee and persimmon notes entwined with sesame oil, green tea and ginger flavors. Shows a lovely interplay of sweet and dry, with flashes of hazelnut cream and juniper contrasting each other on the long and deep finish. Drink now. 900 cases made. -JM.June/2018
Wine & Spirits 93 points – Intense and fragrant with scents of exotic fruit and roasted almonds, this wine’s long aging in wood has given the fruit a grilled aspect, while integrating the lemony acidity into a texture of liquid silk. That acidity enhances the fiery spice, lifting the wine in an upward trajectory of flavor..December/2016
Vinous 94 points – The 30-Year Old Tawny (2017 bottling) is probably my pick of the various aged Tawnies currently sold by Taylor Fladgate. The nose is beautiful: very pure with crushed strawberry, rose petal, quince and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with ginger and allspice on the entry, a fine line of acidity and a very harmonious, almost nutty finish that lingers in the mouth. This is what Tawny Port is all about! Tasted at the Big Fortified Tasting in London..June/2018
An intensely mellow tawny with evolved flavors and aromas of chocolate, butterscotch, toffee and roasted nuts, this wine is rich and voluptuous in the mouth, with a honeyed, layered texture supported by an excellent balance of acidity which carries into the lingering finish.
