Vintage Port 1985
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
The Vintage of 1985 was preceded by an exceptionally cold, wet winter. The Summer was hot throughout and by the close of harvest it was apparent that the year had produced Port wines of exceptional quality.

Critics Ratings
'Impressively deep, intense, plumy; rich, figgy concentrated nose, fairly sweet, full bodied, rich, good length, still hard but with that extra Taylor after taste. 'reat potential. 5 stars, potentially outstanding.' - Michael Broadbent MW, The Great Vintage Wine Book II
Intense ruby colour, now just beginning to open out. Rich, complete, multidimensional nose, displaying elements of both youth and maturity. Aromas of ripe berry fruit, liquorice and butterscotch with scented violet notes. The palate is now quite smooth and round with velvety well integrated tannins and masses of rich figgy fruit flavour. Warm mellow finish full of rich jammy fruit. - Winery notes
