Yesterday at an upscale restaurant, I inquired about the ports available on the wine list and selected (from a very limited list) the Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Port. It was the oldest they had. It was served in a glass at a much smaller than expected portion. I'm guessing the glass had only about two ounces of wine in it (if that) rather than 4 which is what I was expecting. I swirled it around a bit and admired the deep amber color as opposed to the standard red color I'm used to seeing! It was sweet but much to my surprise and delight, it was far less acidic than expected!
At two ounces per glass, that is just a taste in my opinion, not a glass. So I'll pass on wasting $15 again. But I went to a fine wine retailer in San Antonio and picked up a bottle of that 20 year old port as well as the 30 year old Taylor Fladgate as well. Have any of you tried them? I'm quite excited to open one of these and try drinking a much larger portion than the measly two ounces at 15 dollars.
