Appearance

The bouquet unveils a complex aromatic palette combining coffee and caramel, enriched with notes of dried fruits such as prune and raisin. Spicy woody nuances, nutty notes and subtle floral accents complete this refined olfactory expression.
Palate
The attack reveals a round, dense and silky texture. Flavors of toffee and candied fruits dominate the palate, offering a long, warm finish that attests to the quality of its aging.
Food Pairings
This Port pairs perfectly with almonds, red berries, dark chocolate, blue-veined cheeses and toasted nuts.

An Exceptional Tawny Port from the Prestigious Quintas of the Douro
Taylor's, three centuries of Port excellence in the Douro
Founded in 1692 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Taylor's remains one of the oldest independent family-owned Port houses. Established in the Duriense region, it operates prestigious quintas such as Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita and Quinta do Junco, with particular attention to Quinta da Roêda, acquired in 1844. Taylor's has distinguished itself by helping popularize Late Bottled Vintage and through its regularly award-winning Vintage Ports. The estate practices traditional aging in oak barrels and uses grapes exclusively from its family estates, perpetuating a centuries-old know-how under family management for over three centuries.
Historical Collection III The Mallet Reserve Tawny Port, an exceptional Blend
The Historical Collection III The Mallet Reserve Tawny Port is a limited edition resulting from a meticulous Blend of Tawny Ports aged in traditional oak barrels. The bottle itself pays homage to history by adopting the design of mid-18th-century flasks. A true testament to Taylor's commitment to its historical heritage, this exceptional Port perfectly illustrates the estate's expertise in blending and aging.
