The Taylor Fladgate 1968 Very Old Single Harvest Port is an impressive port wine that embodies the essence of an exceptional vintage. This port has aged for more than five decades in carefully selected oak barrels, resulting in a complex and refined character.
The color is a rich mahogany with shimmering amber reflections, a clear indication of its prolonged aging. The aroma offers a delicious combination of dried fruits such as figs and raisins, enriched with notes of caramel, toasted almonds and subtle hints of orange zest and spices.
At the first sip, you taste a silky smooth and harmonious structure, with sweet and fresh elements perfectly balanced. The taste reveals layers of toffee, honey, toasted nuts and a slight spiciness, which together create a long and refined finish.
This port is a perfect choice to enjoy purely as a digestif, served lightly chilled between 12 and 14 °C. It also pairs excellently with desserts such as pecan pie, fig cake or cheeses with intense flavor. The Taylor Fladgate 1968 is an exceptional port that combines tradition and craftsmanship, ideal for special occasions or as a valuable collector's item.
