Description

The 2007 Taylor Vargellas Vinha Velha is a more introverted Taylor’s Vintage, an earthy bouquet with touches of orange essence developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good backbone, quite reserved and composed at the moment. This is not a flamboyant Vinha Velha, but there is a very attractive, slightly biscuity quality towards the finish. Superb. The Vinha Vehla are five plots located in the heart of Quinta de Vargellas. The vines being between 80 and 120 years of age. Strict selection has led to a wine of stunning complexity, power and richness. This is one that will be at its peak 50 years hence. The palate is gloriously sweet and dense, with huge potential for the long term.

Reviews

***96/100- Falstaff***
Dark inky black, opaque core, purple and ruby reflections. On the nose intense notes of black cherries, sour cherries, but also sweet blueberries, liquorice and chocolate, with classic Vieilles Vignes character, mineral and multi-faceted. On the palate very powerful and concentrated, a highly elegant, richly structured wine full of sweet black forest fruit flavours, precise, very well integrated tannins and finesse. Complex and multi layered, a very long finish with fine hints of dark chocolate, oranges and mineral nuances. Already very seductive, but should be allowed to spend the next fifteen years or more in the cellar. A long time but it will certainly be worth the wait. This was only the fifth Vinha Velha that Taylor's has released, the quantity is extremely limited: 3,600 bottles.
