Taylors Vintage Porto 2009 Porto

Description

97 pts Robert Parker – Black as ink with a purple rim. A nose of great purity opens with a vigorous note of concentrated black wild fruits mixed with raspberry and plum. Around this dense fruity core, with its attractive vibrancy and minerality, there is a fragrant and complex aura of citrus fruit flowers and aromas of wild mint and lavender herbs. Supported by a tight weave of thick, vigorous tannins, the palate explodes with a concentrated taste of ripe black fruit that emerges on the long finish before being embraced in a strong tannic hug.
