Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Old Tawny Port
SKU #500630
Another magnificent and finely-balanced tawny of outstanding richness and complexity. The additional ten years of aging produces a fine balance between the rich, raisiny fruit and the nutty, honeyed finish - a taste to linger over. This rare port is traditionally enjoyed as a dessert wine or at the end of the meal.

ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: It is my opinion that Taylor’s tawny ports are the best of this type. When tasted against other tawnys, they all exhibit more aromatic personalities, greater fruit and ripeness, and a wonderful sweetness and length.
Taylor’s 20 Year Old Tawny is a magnificent, finely constituted old tawny blend, produced in limited quantities. Selected red ports produced in the eastern areas of the Douro Valley, including Taylor’s own estates, are matured in oak casks in Taylor’s cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Here the cool and damp coastal climate encourages a gentle aging process producing aromas of great complexity and finesse. In the 20 Year Old tawny, the fruit has mellowed further than in the 10 Year Old, and the spicy, nutty aromas of aging are more powerful and intense.
Like the 10 Year Old, the 20 Year Old is bottled when ready to drink and does not require any further aging in bottle.
