100 points “This is to date the greatest Vintage Port ever from here. It overwhelmed me years ago when I tasted it from barrel but only now is it crossing gradually into its drinking window. The intensity is still mind-boggling here with sweet-and-sour notes as well as mounds of clay. There are violets lurking somewhere too. A full-bodied medium sweet and sublime Vintage Port showing forest fruits and freshly picked blackberries on the palate in the form of a creamy focused and tannic texture.” – James Suckling
As ever Taylor’s delivered one of the wines of the vintage in 1994. Robert Parker once described Taylor’s as “the Latour of Portugal” and it’s a very fitting description. The 1994 is a rich powerful full-bodied and spice-laden Port absolutely bursting with raspberry blackberry crème de cassis violet mint Christmas pudding prune and chocolate flavours. Now ready to drink this is a phenomenal opportunity for any Port lover.
Taylor’s is the archetypal Port house synonymous with this style of wine. This is proven by the Royal Warrant it holds as one of the Suppliers of Port Wine to Her Majesty The Queen. Although steeped in history as you would expect of a family-run business established in 1692 the forward-thinkers at Taylor’s are also committed to sustainable viticulture and have installed solar panels on three of their properties.
