DESCRIPTION
This is Taylor's Single Harvest Port from the 1896 harvest, a tawny that spent well over a century aging in oak casks in the company's lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia. 1896 was also the year Taylor's acquired Quinta de Vargellas in the Douro. It is called a single harvest rather than a vintage Port because it aged in wood, not in bottle. Taylor's released it in 2021, about 1,700 bottles, in hand-blown crystal decanters with a cherry wood box.
Taylor's tasting note describes a deep mahogany color with olive green at the rim, a nose of black coffee, licorice, cedar, dried rose petal and spice, and a dense, velvety palate of coffee, butterscotch and orange peel, kept fresh by bright acidity. The finish goes on for a very long time. Very few wines this old are still on the market, and this is one to open for a real occasion.
Pour small measures at cool room temperature, around 60-64F, in a small tulip or Port glass. It needs nothing alongside it, though a few walnuts or a piece of dark chocolate will not hurt.
Bottle size: 750ml
