"Deep ruby red with vivid purple highlights on the rim. The first impression is of intense woodland fruit with crisp blackcurrant and blackberry aromas. The nose has a youthful freshness and vigor with bursts of powerful, black berry fruit slowly revealing undertones of raspberry and cherry, scents of wild herbs and discreet warmer notes of licorice and coffee. This elegant and polished LBV displays the characteristic Taylor definition and restraint. The palate is supported by taut, sinewy but perfectly integrated tannins and delivers a surge of powerful woodland berry flavors from the outset which are sustained into the long finish. The character of the 2019 harvest, with its freshness and pure, bright fruit, shines through on this wine. As usual, this LBV shares the precision and elegance of the great Taylor Vintage Ports in a more approachable and early drinking style." —winemaker

"It has the flavour of intense dried fruit with toasted notes and a complex nutty smell with slight hints of ripe fruit aromas." —winemaker

"This rich, velvety reserve ruby port brims with luxuriant blackberry and plum flavors and aromas offset by notes of sweet spice and dried fruits, set in a mouth filling texture underscored by ripe, soft tannins." -winemaker
