The grapes for this Taylor Fladgate were harvested in 1967. The wine then aged for an extended period in oak. This makes it fundamentally different from a Vintage Port, where bottle aging plays a major role in the wine’s final development.
In 1967, The Beatles released the album *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band*, a defining cultural landmark of that year. Meanwhile, in the Douro region, the harvest took place that laid the foundation for this Single Harvest. Thus, a bottle from 1967 connects a snapshot of that era with the much slower evolution of Port aged in wood. For an anniversary or a birth year, this adds an extra layer of story to a wine that is exceptional primarily because of its aging.
Walnut, candied orange, dried figs, and subtle spices complement the style of an aged Single Harvest Port. The long aging process can give it a smooth texture, while its fresh notes provide balance. This is a wine that should not be sipped too hastily.
Pour it into a glass that’s not too small and discover its different layers as the wine comes to room temperature. Pair it with a nut cake, almond pastry, or a aged cheese. A historic vintage like 1967 also makes a personal gift for a birthday or anniversary.
The vintage year indicates the harvest year, but not the exact number of years the wine has spent in oak. That depends on the bottling date. Store the bottle in a stable place, away from direct sunlight.
