well-detailed and relatively sleek medium-bodied flavors that display focused power on the sneaky long and markedly firm finale

that's another item to factor into the differences between the two bottlings

The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit

A spicy and admirably pure nose mixes notes of red and blue pinot fruit with those of Asian-style tea

Taylor, Vargellas other_regions well-detailed and relatively sleek medium-bodiedEmpty bottle 600 g. 25% Touriga Nacional, 75% other grape varieties. Quinta de Vargellas was purchased by Taylors over a century ago. The grapes were crushed, not destemmed, macerated and fermented in stone lagares or stainless steel tanks for three to four days with skins at approximately 25 C. Fermentation was stopped with grape spirit and the wine was then aged in large oak vats for two years before spending a further 80 months in bottle. Winemaker
