Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage Port
Grape varieties
TempranilloSpainCherry and dried fig with cedar, tobacco and dill from the barrel. Called Tinta Roriz in northern Portugal and Aragonez in the south — the same grape.
More Tempranillo- Tinta BarrocaThe Douro, Portugal
Floral and mellow, sweet and round on the palate. More colour than structure.
More Tinta Barroca - Tinto CãoThe Douro, Portugal
Crisp acid and velvety texture. Austere young and fine with age. Recorded in the Douro as far back as 1790.
More Tinto Cão - Touriga FrancaNorthern Portugal
Intensely aromatic — roses and a hint of citrus — full-bodied, with a firm tannic backbone. Nothing French about it despite the name.
More Touriga Franca - Touriga NacionalDão, Portugal
Small berries, deep colour and mouth-coating tannin. Black fruit, wild herbs and a distinct scent of violets. Most famous in the Douro, but from further south.
