2007 Taylor, Quinta De Vargellas Vinha Vehla

This is the Port of the vintage (James Suckling – Wine Spectator – May 09)

Showing lovely perfumed ripe fruit on the nose and surprisingly silky on the palate, this wine is produced from very old vines and is concentrated, round and ripe in the mouth. It displays a lovely elegance despite the weight and density, and tannins are prominent, but not at all aggressive.

Heady, plummy, very flattering nose. Spicy, beguiling - rather more transparent than the regular Taylor's. Interesting and rather intellectual. This demands attention and has notably supple tannins. .

This is the Port of the vintage. Blackberry and cassis on the nose. Very perfumed and fruity. Some mineral and wet earth underneath. Full-bodied, medium sweet and very chewy, with fabulous tannins and a big mouthfeel. Racy and powerful.
