Beskrivelse
Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman – bedre kendt som Taylor’s – er en af de ældste portvinshuse i verden, grundlagt i 1692 i Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. Huset er kendt for at producere Vintage Ports kun i de allerbedste år. Vinene er berømte for deres massive struktur, aromatiske styrke og karakteristiske elegance. Produktionen bygger på druer fra deres egne Quintas: Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita og Quinta do Junco.
Årgang 2016
En af de mest erklærede Taylor’s-årgange. Fremragende struktur, koncentreret mørk frugt, floral elegance og kraft til årtier i kælderen.

The 2016 Vintage Port was aged for 20 months in wood and comes in with 102 grams of residual sugar. When last seen, this was a fine Taylor’s, not my favorite, perhaps, but very fine. It is a little precocious in this elegant year, which is not to say there isn’t a tannic backbone. Also, this did have a few hours in the glass. Still, the first and last impression is the big, beautiful fruit. It is a delicious Taylor’s that is hard to resist. It also is firm on the finish and likely to evolve well. Complexity will come in time. I don’t see any reason to change anything about my original evaluation just now. This is still too young to show much development.
