Taylor's : Golden Age 50 Year Very Old Tawny Port

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the 50 Year Old Tawny de Taylor's

Tasting

Appearance
Chestnut color with a copper heart and a slightly golden rim.

Nose
On the nose, notes of rum and raisins, clove, nutmeg and a slight hint of crushed black pepper harmoniously mingle with aromas of dried apricots, dates, quince, vanilla and rum-soaked grapes.

Palate
Plums, quince and apricot dance on the palate while lemon and orange zest bring a fresh acidity that balances the richness of this spirit. Grilled pineapple, passion fruit and lychee perfectly harmonize with toasted coconut, almonds and butter caramel. The texture envelops the palate with a bright, fresh and balanced finish.

Pairings and Tasting Occasions

Excellent with fig, almond and caramel desserts. Perfectly pairs with crème brûlée and wild strawberries. Also delightful on its own, served with nuts or dried fruits. Serve lightly chilled between 12°C and 16°C. Once opened, it stays perfectly fresh for up to 2 months.

Other Characteristics

Ready to drink, no decanting required. Store upright, away from light and at a cool, constant temperature.
