Produced by Taylor, Fladgate \u0026amp; Yeatman, a house founded in 1692, it reflects centuries of expertise and a reputation for some of the finest Vintage Ports ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this 2000 Vintage Port shows an intense blue-purple to near-black core, signalling its depth and youthfulness. The nose is profoundly aromatic, with graphite, blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis, and smoky nuances rising from the glass.\n\nThe palate is monumental and layered, combining dense dark fruit with remarkable sweetness, firm ripe tannins, and fresh acidity. It has the kind of structure and extract that promise decades of development, with Robert Parker noting its resemblance to a stellar vintage of Château Latour. Built for the long haul, this magnum should continue to evolve beautifully well into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from Taylor’s own top-class vineyards in the Douro Valley: Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita, and Quinta do Junco, all classified in the elite Group A category. These estates benefit from very different microclimates, which add complexity, power, and balance to the final wine. Taylor’s uses carefully selected grapes and traditional Port vinification methods to craft a Vintage Port of great intensity and age-worthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest enjoyed with blue cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, or after-dinner nuts and dried fruits, though it is equally impressive on its own. Serve at around 16–18°C and, given its structure and sediment, decanting is highly recommended before serving. A magnum format is especially suited to long aging and makes this an outstanding choice for collectors or special celebrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor’s, officially Taylor, Fladgate \u0026amp; Yeatman, is one of the oldest and most revered Port houses in Portugal, with origins dating back to 1692. The house has been a pioneer in the Port trade, becoming the first to purchase vineyards in the Douro in 1744, the first to produce a Single-Quinta Vintage, and the creator of Late Bottled Vintage Port in 1970. Widely praised by critics and collectors alike, Taylor’s is regarded as a benchmark producer for Vintage Port and one of the great fortified wine houses of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor´s","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255026667857,"sku":"FW-550","price":267.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/taylors_2000.png?v=1783455829","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/taylors-vintage-port-2000-magnum","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
