Porto Taylor's Vintage 1997
The wine
This Vintage port is only produced in excellent years. It is a blend of wines from the Taylor House’s three domains: Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita and Quinta Junco. Following the harvests, the wines are raised in oak casks and tasted at their second Spring. If the quality is exceptional, they are kept in the final blend. The wines can be a little austere in their youth and need some time to express their full potential. They can be aged for decades.
