Product Overview
94 Points - Wine Spectator
"Tightly focused in feel, with racy graphite notes supporting a core of dark currant, blackberry and plum reduction, this is a shade darker in profile than most of its colleagues this vintage, while also showing hints of alder smoke, licorice root and Turkish coffee. On the decidedly dry side in feel, with a lingering hint of walnut husk. To be released in 2027. Best from 2037 through 2055. 100 cases imported." -JM, 12/2/24

"The 2022 Sentinels Vintage Port is a new vintage Port from Taylor's, and this is the first time they have released this wine. It was selected from their best lots in their properties in the Pinhão Valley, the Quintas Terra Feita, Junco, Casa Nova and Eira Velha. It has the traditional grapes from the region with a significant percentage of old vines planted with mixed varieties, and it fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in large oak vats for two years. They didn't declare their vintage this year and produced this wine and the single quinta from Quinta de Vargellas. It's harmonious and serious, a little shy, certainly not explosive, with a classical profile and the approachable personality of the 2022s, soft and textured with very fine tannins, with a medium structure. It has 20% alcohol, with 4.2 grams of acidity and 102 grams of sugar. 54,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in 2024." -LG, 12/12/24
