Taylor's Vintage 1997
Contains 37.5 cl.
It is a port wine with a nice deep purple, almost black, color and an intense and complex fruit aroma with a hint of cedar. It has a strong and concentrated, but at the same time elegant and well-balanced fruit flavor and an incredibly long and pleasant aftertaste.
It is a well-structured port wine with plenty of power, which is particularly suitable for desserts, chocolate and cheese or as a glass after a good meal.
About Vintage Port it is said that it is drinkable after 4-5 years, but that it can only really be enjoyed after 15-20 years. Due to the natural depĂ´t that is in Vintage Port, you must remember to leave the bottle upright for 48 hours before opening it - that way the sediment falls to the bottom. The port should then be carefully decanted so that the sediment remains in the bottle. The port wine is ready for serving 2-3 hours after decanting - and should be drunk within 24 hours of opening.
