Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: This is lovely, displaying warm date, toffee and persimmon notes entwined with sesame oil, green tea and ginger flavors. Shows a lovely interplay of sweet and dry, with flashes of hazelnut cream and juniper contrasting each other on the long and deep finish. Drink now. From Portugal.

• Decanter: A bright, ruddy tawny, with an olive rim. Vigorous on both the nose and palate, with a classy Cognac-like spirit character and lifted drive. Well-structured, with a walnut, green (tomato plant) and black cardamom edge to its tightly focused fruit notes of dried apricot and fig, along with hints of salted caramel. The penetrating, back-of-the-net finish is very precise, lingering and in the Taylors house style.

Producer Information

Taylor’s is one of the most important Port houses in the Douro region of northern Portugal. It is notable for its wide range of traditional ports, from vintage expressions to tawny ports of various ages, and also for its creation of the Late Bottled Vintage, or LBV, style.Unlike many other houses, which include a range of dry red wines in their portfolios, Taylor’s only makes Port. The portfolio includes a series of bottle- and wood-aged Ports including vintage, LBV, single-harvest and white Port.While best-known among winelovers for its single-vintage releases, Taylor’s also boasts two single-estate offerings. The highly-regarded Quinta de Vargellas (purchased in 1893) represents the heart of the business. It lies in the western part of the Douro Superior and has 67 hectares (166 acres) of vines.
