1968 Very Old Single Harvest Tawny Port, Taylor Fladgate, Portugal
Tasted Aug 24 2021
Note: This is the last bit left in the bottle. Rarely you find something that lasts long after it’s gone - in every sense of the statement. This is what Timeless tastes like.
First Impression: A calm and tranquil amber colour draws you right in. Harmonious layered aroma delivered like a brush of a feather..
Flavours: Pronounced aroma with waves of complex notes: plum, raisin, roasted nuts, toffee, milk and dark chocolate, pudding, praline, almond, marzipan, vanilla, old toasted oak…list goes on.
Structure: It is a sweet wine that is superb - well balanced with bright acidity, it is round yet elegant, complex and intense but not overpowering. There’s no end, the finish that does not finish.
This is a limited 50-year old release started with the 1964 vintage. All ports from a single year that reached full maturity in seasoned oak casks.
