Lot 424 Details
TAYLOR (FLADGATE) PORTO VINHA VELHA QUINTA DE VARGELLAS 2011 (OWC)

Douro, Portugal.

The 2011 Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage Port is a typical field blend aged in used French oak vats. It comes in with 105 grams per liter of residual sugar. The youngest, fleshiest and fullest (perhaps because it is the youngest) of this vertical except for the unbottled 2017, this is also one of the most delicious. The fruit is so delectable that, at first, you don't notice how much pure power it has. Then, it's gorgeously textured, precise, focused and penetrating. July 2019 Drink: 2027-2075 WA 97+

3 bts.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $1,560
