“Taylor’s owes its leadership of the aged tawny category to its extensive reserves of very old Port maturing in oak cask. These allow it to offer the full range of 10, 20, 30 and 40 Year Old tawnies as well as rare Single Harvest Ports of interest to both the wine enthusiast and collector,” commented Adrian Bridge, Taylor’s Managing Director. He added, “Taylor’s 1969 Single Harvest Port is the sixth in a magnificent series of limited edition Ports, released when 50 years old. It is an absolutely exceptional wine, a superb example of the art of wood ageing refined by Taylor’s over the generations.”
These extraordinary Port wines have aged in oak casks in the cool, dark and quiet environment of Taylor’s lodges in Oporto. The wine has matured, slowly and evenly, gradually developing the sublime, rich and sumptuous aromas characteristic of a very old Port wine. Half a century of ageing has given this Single Harvest 1969 its seductive complex aromas and intense mellow flavour.
Taylor’s Single Harvest 1969 is ready to drink and is best served between 12° and 16°C. It is presented in the same classic frosted bottle as Taylor’s celebrated range of Aged Tawny Ports and is packed in a luxury wooden gift box.
