Aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. Spectacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040.95 Wine SpectatorBeautiful aromas of honeysuckle, violets, citrus and berries, plus hints of fresh herbs. Full-bodied and chewy, with refined tannins and a long finish. Lasts for minutes on the palate. An elegant, yet powerful and fruity style of young Taylor. Best after 2012. 14,000 cases made. –JS Producer Taylor'sThe home of Port, Taylor’s winery has created quintessential Port wines since the beginning. Producer of drier styled Ports, this exemplary house was first established over three centuries ago in 1692 – making it one of the oldest in the Douro appellation. Unrivaled, their Porto Vintage is a structured masterpiece, with equal parts depth and class, the wine’s overall integrity makes it almost impossible to replicate. The famous 1992 vintage, has set the famous Port house even further above other competitors, receiving a perfect score of 100 points from The Wine Advocate Robert Parker. He described it as “unquestionably the greatest young Port I have ever tasted. It represents the essence of what vintage Port can achieve…if Château Latour made a late-harvest Cabernet Sauvignon, I suspect it might smell like this.”
