Taylor`s drew its Single Harvest 1863 from two casks of wine made before phylloxera swept through the Douro, enough to fill 1,600 crystal decanters; 20.4 per cent, with 224 g/l of residual sugar. Expect a deep mahogany core with an amber-olive rim, then treacle and molasses, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger and black pepper, walnut, marzipan, mocha and fig on the nose. On the palate, sweetness and crisp acidity sit in close balance, and the finish is very long. After dinner, alone or with walnuts.
Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest Port houses. Noted for their for their restrained power and longevity, Taylor’s Vintage Ports are blended from the finest wines of the firm’s own quintas or estates, Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco, with each property occupying a distinct geographic location and contributing their own unique character to the blend. Taylor’s is also respected as a producer of wood-aged ports and holds one of the largest reserves of rare cask aged wines from which its distinguished aged tawny Ports are drawn. Added to that, the house is also known as the originator of Late Bottled Vintage style of Port.
Headquartered in Oporto with vineyards across the Douro Valley the company is closely involved in all stages of the production of its Ports, from the planting of the vineyard and the cultivation of the grapes to the making, ageing, blending and bottling of the wines.
