Taylors Vintage Port 2017 Magnum

A beautifully delineated wine, with the hallmark Taylor’s poise and definition and the tantalising promise of pleasures still to come.

Opaque black at the centre with a narrow purple rim
Uncompromisingly Taylor’s in style, elegant and precise
The nose has very fine, linear fruit, heady and complex but restrained by a graphite minerality
Quinta da Vargellas has imprinted its signature fragrance of violets, which hangs like a scented veil over the wine, and there are discreet terroir notes of citrus, wild herbs and gumcistus
The nose is impressive with depth and background, as well as hints of complexities still to emerge with time
The palate is held in place by lithe, muscular tannins, firm and grippy on the finish, and ends with a powerful surge of crisp, pure berry fruit

Accompany Taylors vintage port 2017 magnum with walnuts, blue veined and other richly flavoured cheeses. Excellent with dried fruits such as apricots or figs.

Decant vintage port because a natural deposit forms in the bottle. Stand the bottle upright a few hours before decanting to allow the sediment to fall to the bottom of the bottle.

Continues to improve for decades after bottling. Lay the bottle down in a cool place, ideally at a temperature below 16ºC. Drink vintage port one to two days after opening.
