Taylor's Vintage Port 1985

Superb 1985 port from Taylor’s, a firm with a reputation for producing arguably the finest and most ageworthy vintage wines. Their ports regularly receive 94 points and above from top critics. Taylor’s own three estates, and after every harvest each property’s finest wines are kept aside to age. After two years, the tasting panel returns to see if the wines are of exceptional quality. If they pass this stage, they are blended together. The estate Quinta Vargellas brings structure, elegance and complexity while Quintas Terra Feita and Junco add body and great depth of fruit. After that, the tasting panel decides whether the wine has sufficient flavour and structure to be a ‘declared’ vintage. Approaching maturity, the 1985 is one to savour.
