2011 Taylor Vargellas Vinha Velha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Marzipan and dusty damsons on the nose. Pure fruit, initially lightweight, grows quickly with gentle tannins that gradually grip become dominant and very powerful. Long and dry fruity finish with plenty of tannins. Big and impressively balanced. 94-96. Tasted over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
