Taylors Vintage Port 2009 Overview

Taylors Vintage Port 2009

A benchmark release from one of the Douro’s most respected producers. It captures both the power of the harvest and the finesse of careful blending. Drawn from the estate’s finest vineyards, it reflects exceptional concentration, structure, and ageing potential.

Tasting Notes:

• Deep, opaque black-purple in colour with a vibrant rim.
• The nose is intensely expressive, opening with dense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, raspberry, and ripe plum. These rich fruit layers are lifted by notes of citrus blossom, mint, lavender, and subtle wild herbs.
• On the palate, it is bold and tightly structured, with firm, sinewy tannins supporting an explosion of concentrated dark fruit.
• The texture is powerful yet refined, leading into a long, persistent finish with great depth and grip.
