Taylor’s practically invented the LBV category and still leads it, thanks to consistently powerful, cellar-worthy Ports ready to drink on release. This 2020 edition comes from low-yielding vines that ripened fast under one of the hottest Julys on record, producing fruit of remarkable concentration. Drawn from Taylor’s own vineyards and top growers across the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior, the wine shows the richness and finesse that define the house style. Bottled after extended cask maturation, this is an LBV with muscle, polish, and plenty of life ahead of it.
Deep and perfumed with tiers of wild strawberry, cassis, raspberry, and plum, lifted by floral notes, a touch of liquorice, and rock rose.
Voluptuous and fruit-laden with damsons and ripe plums supported by tight, linear tannins and a clean, focused drive.
Long and poised with persistent dark fruit and fine structure, giving elegant finesse.
