Taylors Port Vintage Port 2011

Stilen hos Taylor's (Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman) er klassisk, elegant og tør med en en intens kraftighed, der med rette gør den til en af de aller største portvine i verden. Taylor's deklarerer kun vintage i de årgange, hvor alle optimale betingelser er til stede samtidig og dette gør dem til et af det mest ambitiøse af alle portvinshuse. Taylor's Vintage Port er i de allerstørste årgange legendarisk. Parker 96 - 98 point"The 2011 Taylor's Vintage 2011 has a multifaceted, Pandora’s Box of a nose that is mercurial in the glass: cassis at first before blackberry and raspberry politely ask it to move aside, followed by wilted rose petals and Dorset plum. Returning after one 45 minutes that nose has shut up shop. The palate is sweet and sensual on the entry, plush and opulent, with copious black cherries, boysenberry and cassis fruit, curiously more reminiscent of Fonseca! It just glides across the palate with a mouth-coating, glycerine-tinged finish that has a wonderful lightness of touch, demonstrating how Vintage Port is so much more accessible in its youth nowadays. But don't let that fool you into dismissing the seriousness or magnitude of this outstanding Taylor's. 97 point Wine Spectator "Powerful, featuring concentrated dark plum and spicy cherry flavors that are finely balanced, showing notes of raspberry preserves. The mocha and wild herb accents are interwoven and supported by powerful tannins. The finish offers intense grip and violet hints." 97 points Wine Enthusiast"There is an initial smoky character, followed by a burst of ripe, rich black fruit, giving this wine weight and a dark, brooding core that is still developing. The palate is accented with black plum and berry fruit, considerable acidity and a delicate perfume on the finish. For serious aging." 96 point James Suckling"Very pretty pure fruit on the nose: crushed berries and minerals with a licorice and graphite undertone. Full body, medium sweet with chewy tannins that are polished and firm. This shows balance and harmony, but remains powerful, muscular and toned. 11,000 cases produced of this foot-trodden wine. Try in 2021." Verdens bedste portvin? Taylor's slår alt og alle med sin 2011-årgang, der vil blive én af historiens store.
