Impenetrable blue black colour with a narrow purple rim. Complex and finely wrought, the aroma shows classic Taylor elegance and balance. A dense core of complex pure fruit, aromas of blackberries and cassis, is wrapped in a fragrant aura of violets. Resinous notes and subtle hints of liquorice and black coffee emerge as the port opens up. On the palate, tight linear tannins provide a firm framework. Fine berry fruit aromas linger in the finish, where the tannins return to offer an attractive touch of austerity. In short, a top Vintage Port from the great vintage year 2011. Parker points: 96–98. Origin: Portugal, Douro. Port style: Taylor's Vintage Port 2011. Port house: Taylor's. Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Barroca. Storage and serving: This Vintage must be decanted. Once opened it is best enjoyed on the same day. Serve slightly chilled (16 to 18ºC). Quantity: 750 ml. What can you taste?

Resinous notes and subtle hints of liquorice and black coffee emerge as the port opens up. On the palate tight linear tannins provide a firm frame. Fine berry fruit aromas linger in the finish, where the tannins return to give an attractive hint of austerity. Food & spice: Lovely with a mature blue cheese such as Stilton. The soft buttery texture, mild character and tingling of the cheese are perfectly matched by the powerful majestic flavours of the Vintage Port.
