1970 Dow s Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - Wine Spectator 94 points, Richard Jennings 94 points, CellarTracker 92 points. 1992 Niepoort Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 92 points. 2016 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port from Robert Parker - with a score of 96 points. The 2016 Vintage Port was aged for 20 months in wood and comes in with 102 grams of residual sugar. When last seen, this was a fine Taylor's, not my favorite, perhaps, but very fine. It is a little precocious in this elegant year, which is not to say there isn't a tannic backbone. Also, this did have a few hours in the glass. Still, the first and last impression is the big, beautiful fruit. It is a delicious Taylor's that is hard to resist. It also is firm on the finish and likely to evolve well. Complexity will come in time. I don't see any reason to change anything about my original evaluation just now. This is still too young to show much development.. 1983 W J Graham s Vintage Port from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 94 points, Wine Spectator 93 points, The Wine Advocate 92 points, CellarTracker 92 points.
