Taylor´s Very Old Port 1970 Limited Edition
Grape varieties: Several typical Douro grape varieties.
Aging: Oak hulls.
Colour: Pale mahogany core surrounded by a broad pale gold border with subtle olive green highlights.
Aroma: At first glance, the wine is lofty and ethereal, but soon begins to reveal layer after layer of multidimensional aroma. The first to emerge are notes of lumber and cigar leaf, over a background of cedar, balsam and citrus fruits. These are followed by a soft and warm fragrance of marzipan, walnut and coffee, notes of sultana and plum and spicy touches of black pepper and cardamom. Finally, the nose opens up a discreet savoury dimension, with notes of toast and wild herbs.
Flavour: In the mouth, the wine presents a smooth and velvety texture. Rich, dense and sumptuous, it coats the tongue with opulent soft, coffee and caramel flavours with hints of walnut and candied orange peel, but with a remarkable freshness from the current of lively acidity that runs through the palate to the extraordinary long finish.
Serve: 12⁰ to 16⁰
Consumption: Immediate.
Harmonisation: Combina bem com sobremesas com sabores de figos, amêndoas e caramelo. É um excelente complemento para um crème brûlée ou um prato de morangos silvestres. Também pode ser apreciado sozinho, no final da refeição, com nozes ou frutos secos.
