Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 2000
Wine Advocate
Among the most saturated blue/purple/black-colored examples of the vintage, Taylor's 2000 tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids. Aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. Spetacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage. 2010-2040.
Score: 98.

International Wine Cellar
Bright deep ruby. Brooding, complex aromas of cassis, minerals, graphite, licorice and damp earth; distinct hint of surmaturite. Dense, chewy and powerful, with a saline impression of extract. At once strong and seamless, with penetrating, youthful primary black fruit flavors that really expand and reverberate in the mouth and on the very long gripping finish. Exhilatating late note of dark chocolate. By no means a painfully backward Taylor, but structured to evolve for at least 25 to 30 years.
Score: 95.

Wine Spectator
Beautiful aromas of honeysuckle, violets, citrus and berries, plus hints of fresh herbs. Full-bodied and chewy, with refined tannins and a long finish. Lasts for minutes on the palate. An elegant, yet powerful and fruity style of young Taylor. Best after 2012.
Score: 95.
