96 points “This spectacular Vintage Port is one of the stars of the vintage… an exquisite yet precocious 1997.” – Wine Advocate
96 points “This is rather flashy for Taylor.” – Wine Enthusiast
Robert Parker once described Taylor’s as “the Latour of Portugal” and it’s a very fitting description. As ever Taylor’s delivered one of the wines of the vintage in 1997. We’ve held back releasing this on to our website until now because it’s just beginning to enter its drinking window. Draw the cork decant and then dive into its lush blackberry plum fig and Christmas pudding fruit layered with dark chocolate toasted hazelnut toffee festive spices and dried flowers. Although known for their reserved Ports Taylor’s created something immensely decadent and glitzy in 1997. If you’re searching for a Christmas Port or an exquisite gift then look no further.
Taylor’s is the archetypal Port house synonymous with this style of wine. This is proven by the Royal Warrant it holds as one of the Suppliers of Port Wine to Her Majesty The Queen. Although steeped in history as you would expect of a family-run business established in 1692 the forward-thinkers at Taylor’s are also committed to sustainable viticulture and have installed solar panels on three of their properties.
