That's an amazing spread. I'll have a big glass of the Surprise, please.

What was the NV Taylor Fladgate The Mallet Historic Limited Edition Reserve Tawny Port like? Worth buying? I've had my eye on that for a while...

Hi John...I think you should consider. I enjoyed it..and it sold quite well after the tasting $58 Cda.
Long finish was a big plus with a subtle and seductive complexity. On the palate smooth silky texture but it was the nose that really stood out....plum raisin coffee. One taster mentioned " spicy woody aroma".

How is the Taylor 2003 Galactic Edition different from their usual vintage Port? How is it coming along? I'd expect it to be on the young side and still in need of learning proper manners.
