Product details
The Vintage Sentinels blend is based on ‘plot selection’, a meticulous process of choosing wines from specific plots on each of the properties. Just like Taylor’s Single Quinta Vintage, Sentinels Vintage will be produced in years in which there is no declaration of the classic Taylor’s Vintage. These years produce wines that have the potential to age and improve in the bottle, but that are approachable and enjoyable when young. Unlike Single Quinta Vintage Ports, which reflect the character of a single estate, Sentinels Vintage Port represents a harmonious fusion of wines from Taylor’s four heritage estates, located in the heart of the oldest demarcated region in the world.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Deep purple-black core with a narrow purple rim. An explosion of powerful forest fruit, overlaid by a rich layer of black currant, black plum and cherries that emanate from the glass. The aromas of forest fruits are mixed with subtle notes of black cherry, rockrose, a touch of mint and fragrant rose petals. The fruit is elegant and discreet, hiding the vigor and energy of the wine. In the mouth the wine presents incredible freshness, purity of fruit and attractive fineness, with notes of lavender and herbal aroma. Very focused wild fruits, plums and black cherries continue to grow into a very long finish.
Store and Serve Advices:
Should be opened two hours before serving and decanted. Serve between 17º and 18º C. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dry and dark place.
