Lot 385 Details
TAYLOR FLADGATE VERY OLD SINGLE HARVEST PORT 1966 (OWC)

Douro, Portugal.

Limited Edition The 1966 Single Harvest Tawny Port (i.e., a Colheita) is a traditional blend, aged in French and American oak. It comes in at 183 grams per liter of residual sugar. Surprisingly rich and fresh, this seems younger than its age. The complexity here is not quite as great as with some and the nuances of molasses and the like are controlled. On the other side of the coin, it has a rather sensual texture, finishing with a sugary burst. Underneath is the expected acidity and a bit of pop. Overall, it is rather seductive and quite delicious. Note that this will be released in January 2016, part of Taylor's old Colheita releases. December 2015 Drink: 2016-2045 WA 94

2 bts.    per lot $500 - $700
