Taylors Quinta Vargellas Vinhas Velhas Vintage 2017 - Port Wine

Taylors Quinta Vargellas Vinhas Velhas Vintage 2017 - Port Wine is a Port wine from the Porto and Douro region that reveals great depth and aromatic complexity. It presents an intense ruby-black core color with a fine violet halo, a sign of its concentration and youth. On the nose, it is balanced and enveloping, opening in successive layers of dark wild berries, cassis and black cherry, supported by a dense and precise expression.

The richness of the fruit is accompanied by mineral and stony notes, nuances of wild herbs, and discreet hints of cedar wood, which add sophistication to the whole. As it evolves in the glass, suggestions of beeswax, leather, and cigar box emerge, contributing to a complex and very characteristic aromatic profile. On the palate, it relies on robust and granular tannins, enveloping the palate with intense flavors of black and red fruits, lingering in a full and persistent finish.

It is an excellent choice to accompany nuts, strong-flavored cheeses, and blue cheeses. It also pairs very well with dried fruits, such as apricots and figs, enhancing their depth and aromatic richness.
