Taylor Fladgate is arguably the benchmark for LBV which they basically pioneered.

Notes of ripe blackberries, plum, cedar, chocolate, and spice. Warm and supple with balancing acidity. Great value. — 2 months ago

Takes a while to open up but then it is smooth and layered. Soft tannins. From the Clare Valley. — 3 years ago

1985 vintage. This was the first vintage for Jeremy Bull ( who moved from Taylor's) and as I tasted it young many times, I considered it a sleeper of the vintage (with Fonseca being the superstar). And it surely does not disappoint now at almost 4 decades old. Solid colour. Still lots of black fruit in the nose and the mouth, dark chocolate and spices with impeccable balance and great length. You can still find this in Portugal at a fraction of the price of the big boys. Highly recommended. — 3 years ago

No words. Natty crunk meets ‘60s right bank Bordeaux. Luncheon claret...as you might have been served by Warhol or Timothy Leary. The Merlot seems a bit riper and more assertive in this vintage, but the CF wrapper leaf and cranberry pop comes in on the surprisingly suave and sneaky-tannic finish. There are no better wines being made in America if you love things that have one foot firmly rooted in the classics and the other with the itch for the new. Superlative and timeless. — 7 years ago

1994 vintage. Well-crofted indeed. The nose is rather discrete initially. Still a lot of fruit in the mouth, with fresh acidity and silky tannin.While it does not have the depth and power of Taylor's and Fonseca in this extraordinary vintage, there is a lot to like. Give it time to open up. — 2 years ago

The Fonseca bottle was gone in no time so we opened another 2007 from my cellar.I love the more feminine, elegant, ethereal style of Taylor's . Excellent bottle. Violets galore — 2 years ago

A nose of, well, Pinot! No mistaking this red fruit - raspberry, strawberry - and rose petals. The palate has a touch of darker fruit up front but then lavender, cinnamon and strawberry rhubarb. The finish is medium length. This goes down (a little) easy. — 7 years ago
