Description
Only tiny quantities of this aged tawny port are produced each year, making the wines extremely rare and amongst the most revered in the world.
This Tawny port has been aged in oak casks for an average of 30 years. During their long maturation they become tawny in colour and concentrated in their aromas. This port has very intense and elegant flavours which combine to give a smooth, fine finish.
This 30-year-old tawny from Taylor's own vineyards shows incredible length, a deep, old gold colour with hints of dried fruit and honey offsetting the rich nutty aromas. Lush, silky richness with an elegant, slightly austere quality which is quite distinctive. Subtle dried fruit flavours underly exotic layers of caramel and nuts, culminating in an endless finish.

Reviews
***17/20 Points- Jancis Robinson***
Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional, fermented in innovative tanks, developed by Taylor’s and installed at the company’s winery at Quinta da Nogueira, that use 'Port-toes' technology to replicate the traditional foot-treading process. Winemaker David Guimaraens. TA 5.2 g/l, pH 3.5, RS 125 g/l. Bottle weight 600 g.
Transparent reddish tawny. Very smooth with flavours of dried fruits and nuts. By no means given away, but then compared to a 30-year-old red bordeaux… Very pure and fresh. Actually, delightfully refreshing. Very well done with just a tiny bit of chewiness thanks to that long oak ageing. A bit of warmth on the end.
