The Fladgate Partnership with Chris Forbes: Uncorked: 9 November 2022

Post by JacobH »

I received an email from Uncorked in London advertising a tasting with Chris Forbes from TFP next week. The cost is £45. They say:
We are delighted to be welcoming Chris Forbes, export director of the Fladgate Partnership, who will be talking us through a tasting of these three houses. What is Port? We'll cover some key styles: tawny, single quinta, vintage. How does Port age? We'll taste some recent releases and some older vintage styles. Join us for what we expect to be a fascinating evening.
The wines to be tasted are the following (spellings etc. as in the original!):

Taylor's 20 Year Old Tawny
Taylor's 30 Year Old Tawny
2016 Croft
2013 Taylor's Quinta De Vargellas
2011 Taylor's
2008 Fonseca Guimaraens
2004 Croft Quinta De Roeda
2004 Fonseca Quinta Panascal
2000 Fonseca
1985 Fonseca
1985 Taylor's

Seems good value to me for a run through the current TFP range. It also reinforces my view that the BBR’s “Evening with the Symington’s” at £195 was overpriced, even though they are opening wines a division higher.

That is great value for what is a pretty strong line up of TFP ports… enjoy!
