Made from old vines on the legendary Quinta de Vargellas, this vintage combines the house’s trademark power and structure with remarkable elegance, depth, and aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Port shows a deep, concentrated color that hints at its youthful intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, with dark fruit aromas of blackberries and plums, lifted by the kind of complexity that old vines and a great vintage can deliver.\n\nOn the palate, it is rich and serious, with plenty of dark fruit, firm tannins, and a defined backbone that gives the wine real presence. Compared with the more immediate style of regular Taylor’s Vintage Port, this bottling leans deeper and more restrained, with a darker, more structured profile built for long cellaring. It should develop beautifully over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from Quinta de Vargellas, one of Taylor’s most iconic vineyards in the Douro, known for producing Ports of great structure, elegance, and complexity. The vineyard’s old vines contribute a field blend character and naturally low yields, while the steep Douro terroir adds concentration and freshness. In 2017, the wine was aged for around 20 months in French oak before bottling, helping preserve its intensity while adding subtle refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this Port slightly cool, ideally around 16-18°C, to allow its structure and fruit to show at their best. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, blue cheese, walnut tart, or rich berry desserts, and also works well as a contemplative after-dinner wine. Decanting is strongly recommended, especially in its youth, to separate sediment and allow the wine to open gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor’s, formally Taylor, Fladgate \u0026amp; Yeatman, has been producing Port since 1692 and is one of the most respected names in the category.
