Description
Les antiques terrasses murées de la ‘Vinha Velha’ (‘vieille vigne’) constituent la partie historique de Vargellas. Plantées des plus vieilles vignes du domaine, elles créent un paysage viticole spectaculaire, pétri d’histoire, classé au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Le Porto Vintage Vargellas Vinha Velha, porto rare et confidentiel que seule cette vigne antique sait enfanter, est issu d’une sélection parcellaire rigoureuse des plus vieilles souches. Car si l’ensemble des parcelles de la Vinha Velha représente 15% de la production totale du domaine, celles sélectionnées pour l’élaboration du prestigieux vintage n’en constituent qu’un ou deux pour cent tout au plus. Porto rarissime, le Porto Vintage Vargellas Vinha Velha est l’expression même d’un terroir ancestral, inimitable et donc difficilement reproductible.

Notes de dégustation

Wineadvocate

The 2017 Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage Port is a field blend of typical grapes (like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca) aged for 20 months in French wood. It comes in with 105 grams of residual sugar. When last seen, this was only a tank sample. A darker flavor profile than the regular Taylor's, more leaning to plums and blackberries, this shows all that great Taylor's fruit and welds it to a serious backbone. The regular Taylor's seems a bit brighter, while this seems a bit sterner and richer, but at this point in their very young lives, I am not sure there is a lot to choose from qualitatively. That may change, in favor of this, I think, as they go further into their very long lives. Today, there isn't much to separate them except style and price. I'd take this, both for the style and the upside potential, but the price spike is certainly worth noting for many, while the qualitative difference is nominal. - MS 08/2022
