Taylors Vintage Port 2017 Jeroboam 300cl

Taylors Vintage Port 2017 Jeroboam

• Opaque black at the centre with a narrow purple rim
• Uncompromisingly Taylor’s in style, elegant and precise
• The nose is with very fine, linear fruit, heady and complex but restrained by a graphite minerality.
• Quinta da Vargellas has imprinted its signature fragrance of violets, which hangs like a scented veil over the wine, and there are discreet terroir notes of citrus, wild herbs and gumcistus
• The nose has an impressive depth and background, as well as hints of complexities still to emerge with time
• The palate has muscular tannins
• Firm and grippy on the finish, and ends with a powerful surge of crisp, pure berry fruit
• A beautifully delineated fortified wine, with the hallmark Taylor’s poise and definition and the tantalising promise of pleasures still to come

Walnuts and rich cheeses are excellent accompaniments to this port; so too are fruits such as apricots or figs.

Taylors vintage port 2017 jeroboam holds 300cl of port making it the perfect sized bottle of port at Christmas.

Vintage port forms a natural deposit in the bottle and should be decanted. Stand the bottle upright a few hours before decanting to allow the sediment to fall to the bottom of the bottle.

Continues to improve for decades after bottling. Keep the bottle flat and in a cool place, ideally at a temperature below 16ºC.

Serve at 16ºC to 18ºC. Drink within one to two days after opening.
