Description
 
Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. The history of the firm is in many ways the history of the Port trade itself. Since its foundation the company has remained independent. Now well into its fourth century, it has thrived and prospered, establishing itself as one of the world’s most respected historic wine houses. This has been achieved through the perseverance, pioneering spirit and continuity of purpose of successive generations of family involvement.

The 2004 Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage Port is a typical field blend aged in used French oak vats. It comes in with 94 grams per liter of residual sugar. Flamboyant on the nose, although not as much as the 2007 is, this is solid in the mid-palate and is almost drinking decently now. Almost. The tannins are not too astringent, making this surprisingly approachable at this young age, but that is a relative comment. More aeration still makes this close up. It then seems very firm and much sterner. To me, this hasn't quite reached the point where you really will want to drink it, but it's not impossible and not far from becoming more harmonious. If you must dive in, give it some air. This is a very fine but not a truly great Vinha Velha.Wine Advocate 95
