Description
From the Taylors reserves in Oporto this wine has ben stored in seasoned oak casks. Taylors has decided to make a very limited release of the 1969 Single Harvest Port.
TASTING NOTES
Deep mahogany colour with discreet olive highlights on the rim. A very fine, elegant nose, with an opulent core of wild honey, treacle and butterscotch infused with a spicy redolence of black pepper and cinnamon. Cedary cigar box aromas, savoury scents of wild herbs and a discreet aura of fresh mint as a further layer of complexity.
The perfectly calibrated palate is lifted by a fresh acidity and delivers a wealth of rich mellow flavour, molasses, dried figs, sultanas and apricot confit. The finish is clean and bright, with ripe pear and mint and a very discreet zesty citrus notes.
STORAGE
The wine is ready to drink and does not require decanting. The bottle should be kept upright protected from direct sunlight.
