Funny thing Michael, as this is my daughter's birth year, I am waiting patiently for the release of the 2002 Quinta de Vargellas VP (her name is Taylor) which will be in another 4 years or so. It was a pretty heinous vintage overall, but I've had a couple of decent Ports made that year. Glad to see this one shows nicely.

I am going to have to seek some out, although Taylor is a filtered LBV, unlike Fonseca, if I remember correctly. Thanks for your impression of this Port!
