Description
Impeccably well-bred, Taylor’s has never been a flamboyant sort and the 2017 is appreciably reserved on the nose initially; when it’s allowed to open out, its class tells, with some supremely attractive, dark plum notes. It’s big-shouldered, yet refined, and again that sense of sheer class and breeding comes through, taking time in the glass to reveal all which will be reflected in its enormous longevity. As grand and noble a Taylor’s as ever. Drink 2035-2055+.

About this wine
Touriga Nacional
Touriga Nacional is a highly regarded grape variety indigenous to Portugal, often considered the country's flagship red grape. Known for its intense aromas and flavours, the wines typically feature dark fruits such as blackberries, blueberries, and plums, along with distinctive floral notes like violets and hints of spices, herbs, and chocolate. These generally have high tannin levels, good acidity, and deep, dark colour, contributing to their structure and ageing potential.
