1998 Taylor's Quinta do Vargellas Vintage Port
Posted: 23:39 Mon 26 Nov 2007
From a killer deal at Tesco - <£8 per bottle
Huge fruity smell on decanting. Not much sediment, less than I would have expected from a SQVP. The colour is quite light. Not transparent by any means but not as thick and opaque as I would have expected.
On Decanting
A slight hint of spirit on the nose. Mid weight in the mouth. A little fire after a few seconds which faded quickly. Fruit bomb cherry and blackcurrant and a big tannic burst of dryness. I like this.
