Description

A wine of exceptional quality made with the best grapes of a single harvest. A Vintage declaration occurs when producers believe that all conditions are gathered to release the highest standard of quality. On average, fully declared 2 to 3 times per decade, the wine must be bottled between the 2nd and 3rd year after the harvest. A wine built to age for decades reaching full maturity after 20 to 40 years of bottle aging.

Tasting Notes

1955 has produced outstanding Ports. A less famous Vintage as compared to 45, 48 & 63 but now quite challenging to source. The Taylor is a beautiful wine still very much alive sometimes overshadowing 1948 in verticale tastings. A true classic VP.
