Parker about Fladgate Vintage Port 1977
This house must certainly be the Latour of Portugal. Their ports are remarkably backward yet still impressive when young. Of all the vintage ports, those of Taylor need the longest time to mature and even when fully mature seem to have an inner strength and firmness that keep them going for decades. Their tawnys are also among the very best, although somewhat expensive. The 1977 has consistently been at the top of my list of vintage ports in this great vintage, although the Dow, Graham, and Fonseca are equally splendid. It is a mammoth, opaque, statuesque vintage port of remarkable depth and power, but should not be touched before 2000.

Fladgate Vintage Port 1977
The Taylor's Vintage Port 1977 displays impressive depth and complexity. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe black fruits, chocolate, and spices, accompanied by subtle notes of leather and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance between sweetness and tannins. The finish is long and extremely satisfying, with hints of plum, fig, and a subtle nuttiness.
Like all high-quality vintage ports, Taylor's 1977 has remarkable ageing potential. It can easily be stored for several decades, continuing to develop its aromatic diversity and complexity. Connoisseurs recommend aging it for at least 40-50 years to achieve its full potential.
This port wine should be decanted to remove any sediment and fully reveal its aromas. It pairs perfectly with strong cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, chocolate desserts, or a cigar to round off a meal.
