Complex aromas of tar, wet earth, dark berry and flowers follow through to a full body, medium sweet and amazing compacted concentration. Vertical and so deep. It goes on for minutes.

The 2017 Vintage Port is a field blend aged for approximately 20 months in wood. It comes in with 100 grams of residual sugar. Rich, concentrated and often sensational, this is well structured, even better in its fruit profile. While the fruit is terrific, it is also wonderfully fresh. This is arguably a great Taylor's, but it still needs to prove its final case in the cellar. I don't think that will be a problem. As I said when I first saw it, it effortlessly combines brilliant fruit and structure. It does everything right, and it is a formidable competitor to its Vinha Velha sibling in this report. And at half the price.

The 2017 Taylor's Vintage Port comes from their three quintas: Vargellas,de Terra Feita and do junco, picking commencing at Vargellas onSeptember l, the earliest since 1945. Now this boasts a bold and moreflamboyant bouquet vis-à-vis the Croft with layers of blackcurrant,blueberries, violet and allspice. Wonderful definition here and as itratchets up through the gears with aeration manages to maintainimpressive delineation. The palate is medium, rather full.bodied. The firstimpression is one of freshness, completely disguising that summer's drynessand warmth, a disarming finesse built around the frame of tannins thatwould have been impossible years ago. lt is a silky-smooth Taylor's, one ofthe most polished 2017 Vintage Ports with energy and tension floodingthrough the finish. Aristocratic as ever, totally Taylor's, yet still translatingthe growing season with aplomb. Total production is 1l,500 cases.
