Taylor's Single Harvest, 1969

“Taylor’s 1969 Single Harvest Port is the sixth in a magnificent series of limited edition Ports, released when 50 years old. It is an absolutely exceptional wine, a superb example of the art of wood ageing refined by Taylor’s over the generations.” Adrian Bridge, Taylor's MD

The 1969 vintage had one of the highest winter rainfalls on record, followed by a hot July and August but the cool start to the summer meant harvesting did not begin until early October.

Deep mahogany colour with discreet olive highlights on the rim. Very fine, elegant nose, with an opulent core of wild honey, treacle and butterscotch infused with a spicy redolence of black pepper and cinnamon. Cedary cigar box aromas, savoury scents of wild herbs and a discreet aura of fresh mint add a further layer of complexity. The perfectly calibrated palate is lifted by a fresh acidity and delivers a wealth of rich mellow flavour, molasses, dried figs, sultanas and apricot confit. The finish is clean and bright, with ripe pear and mint and very discreet zesty citrus notes.
