Lot 172 Details
TAYLOR FLADGATE VINTAGE PORT 1994

Douro, Portugal.
6 x scraped labels

It reveals high tannin and a reserved style, but it is enormously constituted with massive body, a formidable mid-palate, and exceptional length. It is a young, rich, powerful Taylor that will require 10-15 years of aging. Compared to the more flashy, forward style of the 1992, the 1994 has more in common with such vintages as 1977 and 1970. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2045. October 1996 WS 100 WA 97

6 bts.    per lot $1,000 - $1,200

Realised: $1,704
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
