Taylor’s 2019 – LBV Porto

The nose is precise, frank, tense and offers a certain concentration as well as depth. It reveals notes of concentrated cherry, kirsch, plum in alcohol and small notes of crushed raspberry associated with hints of fig, almond as well as a subtle hint of fresh date, cinnamon, toast, Madagascar pepper and a hint of tobacco. The palate is beautifully built, mineral, fresh, elegant, delicate and offers a beautiful energy, a melodious side as well as a certain richness (but full of precision and control). On the palate this wine expresses notes of jammy strawberry, crushed blueberry and small notes of violet, lilac associated with touches of kirsch small red fruits, balsamic, fine hints of spices as well as a hint almost of black olive, blond tobacco and vanilla. Good length.
