1995 Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port

Post by Otto Nieminen »

Then we compared two 1995 Quinta de Vargellas the first glass the normal and the second the Vinha Velha. The first was lovely, but in a style that brought to my mind Fonseca more than Taylor: blue flowers and great sweetness on the nose. The palate was less sweet and concentrated than what the nose promised. A very well balanced, but painfully young Port. I think this will be lovely. The VV however was IMO somehow off with burnt rubber aromas. It did have fans around the table however, so maybe my nose was off instead. But I was unable to enjoy it tonight.

I bet TFP will love reading your review :shock: .

'95 Vargellas is a steal of deal port and even more so when you consider how it compared to the VV

I must confess that I like the regular '95 Vargellas better than the VVV. And given the price difference that is a good thing :D
