This Taylor Fladgate Single Harvest Port comes from the 1969 harvest and has aged for a long time in oak. The vintage makes this bottle special for a birthday or anniversary, but also for lovers of aged Tawny Port. Dried figs, walnut, candied orange, and warm spices complement its layered profile.

A bottle from 1969 tells two stories at once: that of a memorable year in world history and that of a Port that was given years to age in wood. For Taylor Fladgate, this Single Harvest is not about the intensity of young Vintage Port, but rather the refinement that comes from extended barrel aging.
In 1969, the first human set foot on the moon. While the world watched that historic event, the foundations were being laid in the Douro for a Port that would much later be released as a Single Harvest. A wine like this combines a specific vintage with the long tradition of barrel aging in Vila Nova de Gaia. Its amber color and complex aroma do not develop in a single season, but over many years.
Dried figs, walnuts, candied orange, and warm spices complement its layered profile. With Single Harvest Port, barrel aging plays a major role in its development; the exact duration depends on the bottling date.
Serve slightly chilled in a large port glass. Pair with a nut cake or aged cheese, or enjoy the wine on its own to slowly savor its nuances.
