Description

Few Port vintages have raised as many expectations as 2000 and high expectations were met. The poor berry set in June led to yields being slashed by as much as 35-40% in the delimited vineyard area for Port. The summer was warm though not roasting hot, but an unusually hot period in early September lead to a rapid advancement in the maturity of the grapes. The harvest took place in perfect conditions and produced a small, compact crop of grapes that were packed with rich fruit and tannins.

Among the most saturated blue/purple/black-coloured examples of the vintage, Taylor's 2000 tastes like a young vintage of Chateau Latour on steroids. Aromas of graphite, blackberry liqueur, creme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. Spectacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the leading candidate for the port of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040. 98+ out of 100 Wine Advocate

Dark crimson-purple, dense. Nose reticent at first but opened quite quickly to reveal deep bouquet of blackcurrants, violets, dark chocolate and lavender. Palate intense and deep flavors of blackfruits, chocolate and lavender again with a spine of beautiful fine spirit and tannin with touches of earth and mineral character that keeps on and on. This is a great Port. 96.

96 for estimated potential.cork on its way out..closed, barely fragrant,tannic. Tasted an ounce or so and decided to put it away for another 15 years, topped it off with an ounce of so of Cockburn 2000 and put in a newish cork. Will visit it again in 2028. Thinking it will shine.
Talk to you again in a decade and a half.

1/28/2013 - SWEETSTUFF WROTE:98 Points
Deeply purple with unresolved sediment and only the beginning of an edge clearing, a port more like a mixture of a great Taylor VP and a great Graham VP. Rich, much less dry than usual, with complex and exotic fruit in the nose, quite sweet, with nearly hidden alcohol, blended resins, somewhat tarry, and gentle-textured and juicy-fruity acids. Great, expressive length dominated by tobacco smoke and violets. Great high tones over the whole scale. One of the most intensely pleasurable Taylors of recent memory, but with a serious side that takes time in decanter to show. Now-2030, 97-98/100.
