Taylor’s 2000 Vintage Port – 6 liter Imperial from a legendary vintage

Taylor’s 2000 Vintage Port is a Port from one of the most famous vintages of modern times. In this impressive 6 liter imperial bottle, the wine is a true collector’s item for Port lovers and investors. The 2000 vintage is widely recognized as a classic vintage where structure, concentration and ageing potential come together.

Taylor’s is known for its powerful and structured style, and this vintage is a perfect example. The grapes come from the house’s best vineyards in the Douro Valley, where old vines and steep terraces create wines with deep color and intense fruit. The result is a port with impressive concentration, complexity and a structure that can develop in the bottle for many decades.

This wine has earned 98 points from Robert Parker, who highlights its enormous depth and intensity. Parker describes it as a Port with a concentration and structure almost reminiscent of a great Bordeaux – but with even more power and fruit.

Tasting notes

• Aroma: Intense aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis and slightly smoky nuances.
• Flavor: Extremely concentrated with layers of dark berries, blackcurrant, cherry and deep fruitiness.
• Structure: Rich sweetness balanced by ripe tannins and a nice acidity that gives the wine enormous ageing potential.
• Finish: Very long and powerful aftertaste with layer upon layer of fruit and extract.

This vintage port is already impressive in its youth, but will continue to develop in the bottle for many decades. The large 6 liter bottle also offers even better aging potential, making it ideal for large events and gatherings.
