Vintage Port

Robertson Bros were the shippers behind this brand, which was once one of the most reputable, though, since a fine 1970, very little Vintage Port bears the name.

**92 points Wine Spectator**

Drink it alone for dessert. It is like a delicious piece of fruitcake. Medium red, with a roasted, chocolate, earthy nose, medium-bodied, with plenty of tannins and roasted, fruity flavours on the palate. Will improve. (1989)

Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port Oporto Bottled

This Taylor's Vintage Port from the good 1969 vintage is mature now. This is an excellent choice for both enthusiasts and collectors, offering a taste of the exceptional craftsmanship and terroir of the Douro Valley.

Tasting notes
Lovely tawny colour with a brick hue. The nose shows violets and sweet cherry with hints of wintergreen. On the palate it may not be as sweet as the earlier Ports from the 60s, but that is very much a good thing. Improved with air time, and by the end could almost detect some rich and sweet stewed fruits and Christmas spices balanced by the warming alcohol. …
