1970 is a famous year for Vintage Port. This Taylor Fladgate Single Harvest offers a different interpretation of that same vintage: a wine that aged for years in wooden barrels rather than primarily in the bottle. Walnuts, dried fruit, candied citrus, and subtle caramel define the character of this aged Tawny.

De oogst van 1970 heeft een bijzondere plaats in de geschiedenis van Port. Bij deze Single Harvest van Taylor Fladgate krijgt die beroemde jaargang echter een heel andere stem. De wijn ontwikkelde zich langdurig op hout en laat daardoor een rijpere, meer notige kant van het oogstjaar zien dan een klassieke Vintage Port.
The 1970 harvest holds a special place in the history of Vintage Port. That is precisely why it is interesting to encounter the same vintage in a wood-aged version. While Vintage Port evolves slowly in the bottle, a Single Harvest is monitored over a long period in the cask. The result is a different interpretation of the same harvest year, in which nutty and candied notes can take center stage.
Walnuts, dried fruit, candied citrus, and subtle caramel notes define the character of an aged Tawny. Its freshness is key to balancing its richness. The vintage indicates when the grapes were harvested, not when the wine was bottled.
Serve it slightly chilled with nut pastries, or enjoy a small glass after dinner. The 1969 vintage is an interesting neighboring vintage worth exploring as well.
