Taylor Quinta De Vargellas Single Quinta Vintage 1998

Notes - This is a ‘single quinta’ wine, made in exactly the same way as Taylor's Vintage Port, but using only the grapes from this individual property, trodden on the estate. Only small quantities are made, and only in very good years. Many experts believe Taylor's Single Quinta Vintage Ports to be better than other companies’ declared years. The name of Taylor's is more of an assurance than the year. Taylor's has owned the beautiful estate of Vargellas for over a century, and it is acknowledged as one of the great vineyards of the world. It has the highest percentage of old vines of any quinta in the Douro, 60% being over 75 years old. Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Ports are ready to drink from ten years, but will go on developing for another twenty years or so - almost as long as Taylor’s declared Vintages. Colour: Deep purple/black. Nose: Attractive perfumed violet aromas. An enormously rich, concentrated aromatic nose. Palate: Lovely fresh berry and liquorice flavours. A wine with big fruit and tannins in perfect balance. Rich and concentrated with a nice lingering finish.
