Some Wines From Taylor´s

 

I was invited by Vinunic to taste some wines from Taylor´s with Eloise Opryszko, account manager at Taylor´s.

Fine White Port, Taylor´s 

A light, sweet nose with notes of dried strawberries, vanilla fudge and white raisins.

The taste is sweet and nice but lacks complexity. Notes of dried fruits and dried up vanilla ice cream.

85p   (tasted 2025/12)

2020 Late Bottles Vintage Port, Taylor´s

A deep, velvety nose with notes of cooked cherries, chocolate mousse and Finnish licorice. Open and friendly.

The taste is forward and fine with notes of dried up cherry jam, plums and milk chocolate. Long and fruity.

88p   (tasted 2025/12)

2009 Vintage Port, Taylor´s

A very deep, regal nose with notes of iron, blackberries, damsons and hot tiles. Very fine.

The taste is massive and intense with notes of dark chocolate, raisins cooked in brandy, sweet minerals and a finish that goes on and on and on. Give this 20+ years.

95p   (tasted 2025/12)

Fine Tawny Port, Taylor´s

A low keyed, sweet nose with notes of dark spices, dried fruits and diesel oil. A touch volatile.

The taste is medium bodied and semi sweet with notes of stale nuts, wet earth and old chocolate. 

86p   (tasted 2025/12)

Reserve Tawny Port "The Globe", Taylor´s

A deep, mature nose with notes of dried fruits, milk chocolate and assorted nuts. A nice oxidative note.

The taste is velvety and ample with notes of asphalt, fried nuts and raisins. A long, fine finish. A blend from Taylor´s tawny reserves.

92p   (tasted 2025/12)

20 Year Old Tawny, Taylor´s

A deep, sweet, perfumed nose with notes of dark caramel, autumn apples, figs and wet earth. Very fine.

The taste is rich and concentrated with notes of plums, figs and blackberry chocolate. Long and rewarding.
