Vintage, Taylor's, Porto, 2000

Seller description

A wet 1999 harvest was followed by a cold and dry Winter with almost no rain. April and May were very wet, June and July very dry and the first half of August extremely hot. Harvest started on 20th September. The resulting wines were big and full bodied with intense colour and very attractive aromas. The turn of the century was heralded by the production of exceptional Port wines, notably so in the Douro Valley. Critic Reviews 96/100 Wine Enthusiast 95/100 Wine Spectator 98/100 Robert Parker "...tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids...this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
