Taylor Fladgate, Vintage Port, 1970
A declared vintage from 1970, still here, still going. Taylor Fladgate traces back to 1692 and remains one of the benchmark houses of the Douro, and 1970 was one of the widely declared classic years - the kind of vintage that was built to be drunk about now. Fifty-five years on, this has moved well into its tertiary phase: dried fig, walnut, orange peel and warm spice sitting over what remains a sweet, fortified core. It arrives from a private collection, so expect the cosmetic wear any bottle of this age honestly carries. Stand it upright for a day and decant carefully - there will be sediment.
