Tasting Note
:
|
|
Very dark colour with extremely intense liquorice, cherry, damson and spice aromas. A blockbuster port with immense concentration, power and richness. Amazing ageing potential.

Vinification Note
:
|
|
Taylor's harvested only the best old vines at the Quinta de Vargellas in 2000 for the exceptional Vinha Velha. Harvest and vinification was carried out separately from the rest of the estate, and the grapes were foot-trodden in traditional stone lagares. In the Spring the wine was transported downstream to the Taylor lodges at Oporto for 18 months in wood before being bottled and cellared. Only 4 pipes were produced in 2000.
