My Tasting Notes
92 Points - Neal Martin- Wine Journal
"A deep black/opaque hue. A very pure, well-defined nose of black cherries, cassis and plum with a certain 'coolness' about it. The palate is full-bodied but for me just lacking a little definition and tension. But very pure again with notes of plum, liquorice, a hint of black pepper and quite a fleshy, supple finish. Very fine. Drinking 2015-2030."Inky black colour with a narrow purple rim. The nose is built on a sturdy foundation of rich and potent blackcurrant, cherry and blackberry aromas interlaced with notes of apricot and plum.
Hints of cedarwood, gumcistus and violet provide the exotic scented dimension which is the
hallmark of Vargellas vintage ports.
On the palate the first impression is supple and restrained but the finish reveals a tightly knit fabric of sinewy tannin and unleashes a powerful surge of rich black fruit
flavour.
