Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalJust re-tasted this at Taylor in late 2017 and it's delicious. Taylor has extensive reserves of very old cask aged Tawny Ports, and beginning with the 1964, have released a series of fifty year old Tawnies as single vintage Colheita, marking the wine's 50th anniversary in barrel. Time mellows all wines, and in this case, intensifies its internal structure. Still potent up front, with salted marzipan, orange, whisky and wood and some ‘spirit’ before the caramelized orange, singed brown sugar, butterscotch, treacle, raisins, honeycomb and pecans finish with great length and warmth. An experience for anyone or any event connected to 1967.Tasted: 29 January 2018Tasted by: Prices:
