The Story
Taylor Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port 2005 is a single-estate Vintage Port showcasing concentrated blackberry and plum fruit, floral aromas, firm tannins, and remarkable depth. Powerful yet refined, it offers excellent structure with outstanding aging potential.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts, walnuts, dried figs, and mature hard cheeses.
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
Fruity, lacking the power of some vintages of Vargellas, but more than making up with richness, sweetness and delicious violet perfumes. There is some cranberry jelly flavor, an edge of dryness and firmness in the fruit, but it's more about ripeness.
