Wine Notes
The Taylor’s 1975 is on the lighter-bodied end of the vintage port scale but there’s nothing wrong with that (personal opinion). Not a monster, but fine nevertheless.
Producer Notes
Taylorโs is one of the oldest established Port houses and the first British merchant to own an estate in the Douro valley, Quinta de Vargellas. It has changed hands many times since then but its reputation as a producer of quality and consistency hasnโt waned. They were the first to introduce a Late Bottled Vintage Port back in the 1970โs which has now become a common fixture for most Port houses. They make a wide range of styles but are best known for the LBVโs, Vintage Port and their single-quinta, Vargellas Vinha Velha which is made from ancient vines located within the Quinta de Vargellas estate.
