Taylors 2009 Vintage Port

Description

Taylors Vintage Port is Taylor’s finest and rarest wine, the very pinnacle of port. Only in a year when everything is perfect does Taylor’s ‘declare’ a vintage. Founded in 1692, Taylor Fladgate & Yeatman is one of the oldest, and most, prestigious Port houses. The most famous of all Port houses, Taylor’s Port is regarded as the benchmark for Vintage Port and its declared vintages attract the highest scores and auction prices. Noted for their elegance and restrained power, their longevity and their distinctive scented character, these classic Vintage Ports are blended from the finest wines of the firm’s own ‘quintas’ or estates. Taylor’s three famous properties – Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco – occupy distinct geographic locations. Each contributes its own unique character and dimension to the subtle harmony of the blend.

Commenting on the decision to declare the 2009 vintage, Taylor’s CEO Adrian Bridge remarked, ‘The year has produced wines of massive scale, not unlike the iconic vintage ports of the early twentieth century. They are wines built to last.’
