The Taylor Fladgate 1966 Very Old Single Harvest Port is a masterful port wine derived from the exceptional 1966 vintage. This port has been aged in traditional oak barrels for more than five decades, which has contributed to its profound flavor and aromatic complexity.
The wine has a beautiful mahogany color with shimmering amber reflections, a reflection of its prolonged aging. In the glass, it unfolds a rich bouquet of dried fruits, such as raisins and dates, mixed with delicate notes of toffee, toasted almonds and a hint of orange zest.
At the first sip, you discover a silky texture with perfectly balanced sweetness and freshness. The taste is complex and layered, with notes of caramel, honey and a slight spiciness that elegantly round out the port. The finish is long, harmonious and lingers with subtle accents of spice and cedar.
This port is ideal to enjoy purely as a digestif, or paired with desserts such as nut pies, figs or blue-veined cheeses. Taylor Fladgate is known worldwide for its unparalleled craftsmanship, and the 1966 edition is a valuable addition to any wine collection or a special gift for port lovers.
