Taylors Vintage 2017

100 pts Robert Parker - Opaque black at the centre with a narrow purple rim. Uncompromisingly Taylor's in style, elegant and precise. The nose is threaded with 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 still reserved but there is impressive 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. A beautifully delineated wine, with the hallmark Taylor's poise and definition and the tantalising promise of pleasures still to come.

El Oporto, uno de los grandes vinos históricos del mundo
One of the classic wines of Porto and, like all of them, should expect to reach a certain maturity in the bottle and is decantarlos advisable. Wine very complex and many-sided that deserves to enjoy quietly and without hurry. Marida with blue cheeses, but perfectly can be taken alone.
