Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas Vintage 1988

Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas Vintage 1988


It is over four years since I last tried a Vargellas of this vintage so it will be interesting see if there is much difference between the tastings.

This time the colour was almost inky black with just a hint of ruby to lighten it. A touch of amber could be seen in the rim. The nose was rich and redolent with plummy fruit scents. It had a sweet and full flavour of sweet plums balanced against a spicey tannic pepperiness. There wasn't a lot of depth but the combination rich fruit and pepper made this a satisfying digestive after a rich meal.
