2022 Taylor Vargellas

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Expressive nose, smelling of old-fashioned Fruit Chews (blackcurrant with many other fruit flavours added) with a nice green leaf added. Smooth entry, the green tea shines strongly in the sweet fruit, with the tannins seeming to emerge from the tea. Fresh and elegant palate, the fruit dominates but there is good complexity of flavours and textures. Nice grip on the aftertaste, the fruit dominates but the tannins add complexity. Delicious liquorice finish. Impressive. Day 3. 89-91/100. Tasted 23-Aug-2024.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
