Taylor's Golden Age Tawny combines a selection of port wines aged in barrels for fifty years to create an exclusive, strictly limited special edition.
The wines for Taylor’s 50-year-old Tawny Blend come from the eastern foothills of the Douro Valley. The region is home to many top wineries and a traditional supplier of the longest-lasting port wines. The wines for Taylor's Golden Age Tawny initially mature separately in old oak barrels that were specifically selected for this purpose by the house's experienced coopers.
After half a century in Taylor's cellars, the wines reach their "golden age" - the magical moment when they achieve their perfect balance, impressive complexity, density and seductive suppleness.
Taylor's Golden Age Tawny is the perfect wine to celebrate half a century: a 50th birthday, an anniversary or another important event that occurred five decades ago.
Warm mahogany to copper red with a light, golden edge. Elegant, intense and very delicate on the nose with notes of rum raisins, cloves, nutmeg and a hint of freshly cracked black pepper. Plums, quinces and apricots dance on the palate, lemon and orange peels enliven the lush fullness with fragrant acidic freshness. Aromas of grilled pineapple, passion fruit and lychee merge with notes of toasted coconut, almonds and caramel. Powerful with a dense, mouth-lining texture, balanced in the finish, fresh and lively with an almost endless finish. Makes you want to more!
