Taylor Very Old Single Harvest Port 1976

“Singed black sesame, hazelnut, buckwheat, dried blood orange and walnut husk notes merge, starting dry but unfolding steadily to offer succulence and underlying sweetness as date, peanut brittle and salted caramel accents fill in through the finish. A fully mature wine, with ample energy and persistence, which makes this pretty special.”

“Orangey tawny colour. A little more lifted and citrusy than their 50 Year Old Tawny. Also barley sugar and alcohol-soaked raisins. Much more of an apricot bite and more obvious freshness here than on the 50 Year Old. Excellent balance while very sweet. Mouth-watering finish. (JH)”
