{"product_id":"taylor-fladgate-vintage-port-1994-375ml","title":"Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port 1994 (375ml)","description":"If you want to drink 1994 Taylor's now instead of waiting on it, the 375ml bottle is the one to open: the wine is still very closed in large formats but much more open in the smaller size. The year got off to a bad start. An extremely wet winter cut yields right across the Douro, in some places by as much as 75%, and then a dry, warm growing season with only a few short spells of rain brought the small crop in. Taylor's made the wine the traditional way, in lagares with all the stalks left in, and blended it from two of its own estates, Quinta de Vargellas and Quinta de Terra Feita. Those two quintas, on the Douro's bare schist soils, supply only about 14% of what the firm needs each harvest, and almost all of it goes into declared vintages, single-quinta Ports and aged tawnies. The wine is at the start of a long, high plateau of maturity, so there's no rush to drink it. There's also no reason to keep waiting, and this size is just right for two people after dinner. Stand it upright for a few hours, decant it off the sediment, serve at 16–18°C and finish it within a day or two.","brand":"Private [PRI]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44125563650083,"sku":"SF-A-HDH1026-110226-8-13","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Taylor-Fladgate-Vintage-Port-1994-375ml-Fortified-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1793746294","url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/taylor-fladgate-vintage-port-1994-375ml","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
