Taylor’s Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha 2000 Vintage Port – 3 bottles in original wooden box

Taylor’s Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha 2000 Vintage Port is one of the rarest and most iconic port wines from the Douro Valley. Here you get an exclusive original 3-bottle box – a true collector’s treasure and a masterpiece of Vintage Port.

Vinha Velha is made only in the greatest vintages and exclusively from Quinta de Vargellas’ oldest vines. These vines are between 80 and 120 years old and spread across five historic plots of land that together make up the estate’s “Vinha Velha” – the old vineyard. Although these parcels represent more than 15% of the estate’s production, a maximum of 2% of the grapes are selected for this legendary bottling. The result is an extremely limited production, released in small batches and only sold in cases of three bottles.

The 2000 vintage is considered one of the greats of the Douro, and Vinha Velha 2000 is the culmination of concentration, depth and terroir. This Vintage Port combines power, structure and an almost infinite aging capacity. This is world-class Port – made for the cellar, the investor and the uncompromising connoisseur.

International critics have given it top marks:
– 100 points – Wine Advocate
– 100 points – Wine Enthusiast
– 98 points – Robert Parker
– 95 points – Wine & Spirits
– 95 points – Wine Spectator
– 17/20 – Jancis Robinson

This isn’t just a port – it’s a reference point for how great Vintage Port can be.

Tasting notes

Aroma: Intense and deep with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry and violet. Underlying notes of graphite, dark chocolate, licorice and spices.
Flavor: Extreme concentration and silky structure. Dense core of black fruit, mineral nerve and impressive tannin structure, balanced by fresh acidity.
Aftertaste: Almost endless. Layer upon layer of dark fruit, cocoa, spice and elegant dryness that promises decades of aging potential.
