Taylor’s 325th Anniversary Limited Edition Reserve Tawny Port NV

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe "325th Anniversary" is a blend of 10, 20, 30 and 40-year-old aged tawny ports that in many ways reflects the best attributes of each of the classic Tawny styles. The freshness of the 10-YO cuts into the balance and steady handy of the 20-YO but is matched by the smoky, woody notes of the 30-YO and the complex, figgy seductive textures and flavours of the 40-YO. Best of all there is no need to wait to drink this bottle, but there is no rush to drink it once it is open. This is the story of tawny port in a bottle. As the British might say it is a brilliant blend, assembled by David Guimaraens, Taylor Fladgate’s chief winemaker and keeper of the gate.Tasted: 07 October 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
