Taylors Quinta De Vargellas Vintage Port 2013 in Wooden Box 75cl
ABV - 20.5%
Profound, mature Vintage Port from one of the greatest single vineyards in the Douro – Vargellas – and highest quality producers – Taylor’s. Deep colour, rich nose of Vargellas violets, dark preserved fruits, liquorice and spices. Explosive palate – sweet, rich, textural, with bold black fruit, plums, liquorice (again), soft spice. Very concentrated and lovely structure and balance. Smooth and satiny mouth feel – for all its power remarkably subtle and elegant.
Single Quinta Vintage port from Taylor’s, “the Latour of the Douro” (Robert Parker). Picked at the peak of ripeness, has been made into this magnificent release.
Tasting notes: Luscious, velvety black fruits, violets, kirsch, dark chocolate, spice
Aroma: Ripe black fruit, floral, oak and spice
Drink by: end of 2051
Grape Variety:
Touriga Nacional is dominant in this blend, which also includes Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca,Tinta Cão and Tinta Amarela. Includes grapes which have been traditionally foot trodden. Aged for two years in large old casks, prior to bottling unfiltered and unfined.
Food Match:
Just ready to drink now, but do decant the clear wine gently (off its sediment lees) a couple of hours, at least, before serving. It will improve with aeration in a decanter. Pair, classically, with a full flavoured cheese board selection, served with walnut bread and quince jelly. Equally enjoy on its own and sip into the evening.
