Taylor’s Vintage Port 2016

• Region: Douro, Portugal.
• Capacity: 75cL
• Grape varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Amarela.
• Alcohol content: 20% Vol.
• Tasting notes: Deep purple color with a fine magenta rim. Intense aromas of pure wild berries and fresh notes of green apple, plum and raspberry. Surrounding the core of lively fruit is an intoxicating aura of cistus and herbs. Deeper down, exotic notes of cedar and jasmine add an extra dimension of complexity. The wine has an attractive elegance and muscularity, with vigorous, linear tannins that meld perfectly on the palate and support the wine with great firmness. Very vigorous due to its bold acidity, it has intense berry flavors on a very long finish. Although the dominant notes are of finesse and balance, the wine displays the restrained vigor and resilience that are the hallmarks of Taylor’s style.
• Pairing: Nuts, intensely flavored cheeses and blue-veined cheeses are excellent accompaniments for Vintage Port. Dried fruit, such as apricots and figs, are also a perfect match.
• Decanting: It should be decanted to remove the natural deposit formed by its ageing. Stand the bottle up for a few hours before decanting to allow the sediment at the bottom of the bottle to precipitate.
• Other information: Contains sulphites.
