2017 Taylor Fladgate 'Vargella Vinha Velha' Vintage Port

Represents only the eighth release...it has ripe and sensual, playful bouquet with ripe fig and damson bursting from the glass. Fine definition here, real depth and complexity as it reveals subtle melted tar and bayleaf aromas with continued aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. This feels lush and rounded with black pepper, clove and tobacco notes infusing the black fruit, long and sensual towards the finish...this is going to be fascinating to monitor during its evolution in bottle.
