Taylor Fladgate Port Sentinels 2024 750mL

    Description

    Named after the historic stone markers that once guarded Portugal's finest Douro vineyards, this exceptional release unites four legendary hillside estates in the Pinhão Valley. Crafted by sixth-generation winemaker David Guimaraens, it balances remarkable aging potential with immediate charm, skipping the harsh dryness often found in young vintage ports. The result is a wonderfully vibrant pour overflowing with ripe wild blackberries, gentle floral notes, and a silky, comforting warmth. It is an unforgettable bottle to share with friends over rich blue cheeses or dark chocolate at the end of an evening.

    Tasting Notes

    • Nose: Ripe wild blackberries, black cherries, and sweet cassis layered with fresh violets, lavender, and a whisper of dark cocoa.

    • Flavor: Rich, velvety, and full-bodied, offering juicy black currants, sweet damson plum, and delicate dried herbs balanced by a refreshing, lively lift.

    • Finish: Long, smooth, and persistent, lingering with dark fruit, black tea, and a cozy, gentle warmth.
