1969 Taylor Fladgate Very Old Single Harvest Port

The Taylor Fladgate 1969 Very Old Single Harvest Port is an exceptional port wine that reflects the best of the Douro Valley, with an unparalleled complexity and refinement that is only possible after more than five decades of aging. This port wine has been aged with the utmost care in traditional oak barrels, giving it its impressive depth and rich flavor profile.

The color of this port is a deep mahogany, with golden reflections resulting from its long aging process. The aroma reveals a harmony of dried fruits, such as figs and plums, combined with notes of caramelized sugar, honey and subtle hints of nuts, such as walnuts and almonds. A hint of orange zest and a slight spiciness add additional complexity to the aroma profile.

The palate is silky and perfectly balanced, with a rich sweetness nicely rounded by delicate acidity. Layers of toffee, toasted nuts and candied fruit are well integrated, and the finish is long, with a lingering presence of caramel, spice and a subtle hint of oak. This port is a real treat for the senses, with an elegance that reflects its age.

The Taylor Fladgate 1969 Very Old Single Harvest Port is ideal to be enjoyed pure, as a digestif after a meal, or paired with rich desserts such as pecan pie, crème brûlée or blue-veined cheeses. This port is a true delicacy for the passionate wine lover and a perfect collector's item.
