Taylor's Reserve Tawny Port is carefully blended from the finest wood aged Ports selected from Aged Tawny reserves maturing in Taylor's lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia. It has the smooth, rich and mellow flavour that is the hallmark of an Aged Tawny Port.
The 'mallet' bottle: The bottle shape is one that became well established in England by around 1730. These bottles were squat in shape, with there sides often tapered towards the shoulder rather than completely straight and parallel. By around 1950, the 'mallet' bottle had developed a more cylindrical form. This Limited Edition bottle is inspired by the 'mallet' cylindrical bottle from that period. It was the immediate predecessor to today's cylindrical wine bottle.
75cl at 20% alc/vol.
TASTING NOTES
Full bodied and fruity. Plenty raisins, spices, wood, cinnamon, prunes, strawberries on the palate, with a long, chocolatey finish.
Serving Suggestions
The wine benefits from being served slightly chilled, between 12ºC to 16ºC. A delicious dessert wine, and combines particularly well with flavours of almonds, berry fruit or dark chocolate. It can also be enjoyed as an accompaniment for rich, blue veined cheeses.
