2011 Taylor Vargellas Vinha Velha

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

310 cases. Magenta, not violet in colour. Bramble fruit on the nose - inviting and sweet. So silky and attractive in texture. Very fruit dominated but with a ripe, black chocolate tannin core that controls and focusses the wine. An immense finish of huge length. This is astonishingly good port. A contender for wine of the vintage at this tasting. 97-99. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
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!
