3 bottles of Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port - 1 bottle of 1994 - 1 bottle of 1995 - 1 bottle of 1997 Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman Among the first of the early traders of Port was Job Bearsley, who by 1692 was a Port shipper and partner in the firm which we know today as Taylor's. Already in the 1670’es, born in Yorkshire, he was worked in the north of Portugal. He shipped, corn, fruit and wine (from Monaco) to England and wool and dried cod from England back to Portugal. Situated high in the mountain reaches of the Upper Douro; Quinta de Vargellas is the crown jewel of Taylor's. Acquired in 1893, at the time when phylloxera was most destructive in the area the harvest at the Quinta was a beggarly six pipes. Nowadays the company is managed by descendants of two old Port wine families, the Yeatman’s and the Fladgate’s. The lot will be sent in appropriate custom packaging. Any import costs are entirely the buyer's responsibility. By bidding, the buyer understands that bottles can leak during transportation, and can be affected by heat or other transport conditions.
