Tasting note
White port is aged in barrel, so the shade is honey gold - not white. This has a soft, elegant nose of corn syrup, baked almond, honey and vanilla. It's medium full bodied, very sweet, smooth and creamy with considerable licorice and warmth on the finish (20% alcohol). Excellent length. It's a bit overboard on sweetness for modern tastes but this [has] excellent quality. Chill it quite well. Score - 90. (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Jan. 3, 2013)
Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue. Fully matured in oak so it is smooth and ready to drink, Taylor Fladgate’s Fine White Port is made exclusively from white grapes. Serve it chilled with toasted almonds or hazelnuts for a creative aperitif.
