so to celebrate our 325th anniversary

Taylor's is one of the most well known of all Port brands

classic wine from this château

2001 Imperial, Gran Reserva, C.V.N.E., Rioja, Spain Bordeaux First Growth Lisa Perrotti-Brown MWMade from 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, and aged extensively in both French and American oak, the 2001 Imperial is all that one would expect from this great House in this great vintage. Disarmingly approachable, or so it seems, the wines full complexity becomes evident on the palate as it is savoured. .
