From half. I figured this would be on the lighter side and ready to drink when I bought it, and it was. Brick red, red fruit, spice, a touch of gingerbread, alcoholic heat, very smooth and velvety tannins (what were left of them). Not too sweet, and generally well balanced. Threw a ton of sediment in the bottle.
This was very nice and elegant. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that the cherry was a little bit medicinal and there was a touch of bitterness at the back of the tongue.
But for $8.99 for a half, this didn't have to be Taylor Fladgate from a declared vintage to be good QPR.
My guess is that this is pretty much mature, but I have limited experience with port (outside of a fantastic collection of 1977's my friend was given at birth which were stored for 25 years, forgotten about, but then delivered to him as a surprise 2 years ago....basically, I've had fine '77's, some 2000's and 2003's, and nothing in between except for a very closed '85 Croft. So, YMMV when it comes to the maturity I guess).
