Taylor's 1997 Vintage Port

Grapes: A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca

Producer Tasting Note:

Black purple; opaque. Dense, tight, rich full fruit nose. Cedar and dark berry aromas. A big, full bodied wine with great finesse and style. Great character and potential.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Saturated black/purple-colored, with stunning aromatics of blueberries, blackberries, licorice, and iron, this spectacular vintage port is one of the stars of the vintage. Extremely full-bodied, with silky tannin, spectacular concentration and purity, multiple flavor levels, and an evolved, forward personality, this is an exquisite yet precocious 1997 vintage port. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030."

96/100 points, Robert M. Parker Jr., WINE ADVOCATE, January 2000

"Excellent colour right out to the rim. Briary, autumnal. Big and bold and fat. Massive alcohol. Tannins creep up. An entirely bigger register than the Graham. Very, very long. Massive." Drink 2018-2035

19/20 points, Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, August 2005
