From pre-phylloxera vines, Taylor's bought a small lot of only three barrels from the 1863 vintage that had been quietly resting in a cellar for well over a century—the producer had the foresight to reserve them when phylloxera swept through the region. An important wine because, as Taylor's staff pointed out, ungrafted vines no longer exist in the Douro. An incredible experience, and one that I felt lucky to have since the winery has fewer than 12 bottles remaining.

There is an incredible, concentrated sweetness on the nose; coffee, vanilla, maple syrup, and dried tobacco leaf. In the mouth, lacquered elegance, a long toffee-hued ribbon slowly unfurling, like removing a sheet from an ancient mahogany bureau, there is dust and warm wood and leather, layered against dates, dried orange skins and burnt sugar. Spiciness and minerality emerge on the finish, filtered sunlight through ancient glass and sea salt captured by time and slow evaporation. — 8 years ago

Combination of 2 great Riesling areas with fruit from both Eden Valley and Clare Valley. Not too lean with good mid palate fruit. Great value for Taylor's 2nd best Riesling. — 9 years ago

Delicious!! Comparable to Taylor's, but smoother. Blended flavors well so you were tasting the best of everything (strong, sweet, & smooth). — 11 years ago

Rioja has never been my favorite spanish region. Ribera del Duero's, and Toro's finely crafted wines have always casted a shadow on their riojan counterparts.
But Rioja has payed attention, and is picking up the pace. This wine is beautiful. Rustic chic beautiful. Not Elizabeth Taylor's kind of beauty, but surely, Sophia Loren's. — 8 years ago

Plum, blackberry, candy apple, fig newtons, and insects on the nose, very soft tannins, nicely balanced heat and acidity. Lingering finish. Nice. — 9 years ago

I've never really found much benefit in aging LBV port and this is no exception. Probably would have been better a few years ago, and this is leagues below Taylor's vintage port, but still very enjoyable to end the night. — 9 years ago

1977 vintage. Mature. Lacks the definition and depth I love in Taylor's. I was expecting a tighter wine, more opulent and serious. Still young, this is a wine for the ages and it misses the power and core I love of Taylor's. — 9 years ago

1962 vintage port. Best in class. Amazing depth and purity of flavor. Not overly sweet. Balanced. Subtle notes of nutmeg and fig — 9 years ago

40 tawny: most elegant, complex and balanced of the bunch, medium + bodied, with elegant but persistent layers that keep coming wave after wave. Great acidity and super clean and long finish that sails on forever. — 11 years ago
