2015 TAYLOR FLADGATE QUINTA DE VARGELLAS VINTAGE PORTO 750ML

Deep ruby-black core with a narrow purple-red rim. A classic Vargellas nose fine elegant and poised with a linear surge of pure singing woodland infused with a plummy freshness and hints of citrus and fresh quince. A subtle spiciness with hints of nutmeg anise and cacao emerges from behind the fruit. The tell-tale Vargellas floral scent is more reminiscent of jasmine than the signature aura of violets and mingles with the minty resiny notes of wild herbs. A discreet minerality provides an attractively firm edge. Typically of Vargellas the palate is supported by taut sinewy tannins and the grippy finish delivers a burst of clean fresh berry fruit flavor. A very fine single-quinta Vintage Port confident and in perfect balance.
