Taylor Fladgate Very Old Single Harvest Port 1966

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalTaylor Fladgate boasts extensive reserves of ancient, cask-aged Tawny Ports, and as of 1964, have released a series of fifty-year-old Tawnies from a single vintage (Colheita). A medium mahogany hue, with a complex nose of salted hazelnuts, almonds, orange and light caramel carry onto a savoury palate. Layers of subtle spices, wood, salted caramels, fig, and dark molasses, framed with fine, persistent tannins. Exceptional length and hum on the finish, with sweet tobacco and potent orange-caramel notes lingering. Subtly confident, this is a unique wine that is drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 21 December 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
