Taylors Late Bottled Vintage Port 2018 750ml
Deep ruby core with vivid ruby rim.
The nose is very fine and multi-layered, underpinned by rich strawberry jam aromas and lifted by resiny herbal notes, fresh scents of cedarwood and hints of bracken and woodland floor.
There is also a discreetly sensuous dimension, a luxurious redolence of leather and mocha coffee. In contrast, and in keeping with the Taylor house style, the palate has an attractive edge of austerity with taut wiry tannins providing a firm grip to the long finish which delivers a surge of rich berry fruit flavour.
A beautifully refined wine, poised and complete, displaying a complexity comparable with that of a mature classic vintage port.
A beautiful expression of the 2018 vintage with its accent on elegance and finesse.
