Taylor's Vintage Port 1977

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

A classic Vintage generally declared. The Taylor's 77 is at the top game, with outstanding structure and complexity. Now at a lovely stage with great purity of fruit, and subtle notes of flowers, dried fruits, milk chocolate and dark plums.
