Taylor’s Tawny 40 Years Old is a blend of exceptionally rare and old wines, produced in limited quantities.
Selected red Port wines, produced in the eastern areas of the Douro Valley, including Taylor's own farms, are aged in oak casks in Taylor's cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. There, the cool and humid climate allows for a smooth aging process, producing aromas of great complexity and delicacy.
The aging in wood during the 40 years concentrated this wine until it almost became an essence, developing intense and complex spicy and dried fruit aromas, in addition to a dense and concentrated palate, full of rich and velvety flavors.

| Test Results | A sublime Port wine of a very old age, showing nuances of golden color and olive green, a product of the many years that it spent in cask. Decades of evaporation have concentrated this extraordinary wine, giving it an exceptional density and a powerful nose for dehydrated fruits, honey and a touch of spices. Signs of nutmeg, roasted coffee and an intense sensation of dried fruits converge, both in the bouquet and on the palate. The rich, intense, voluptuous and almost viscous texture of the wine, culminates in an end of incredible persistence. |
| Gastronomy | Excellent accompaniment to many desserts. It combines well with flavors of figs, almonds and caramel. It is also excellent to accompany a cream-milk or a bowl of strawberries. It can also be enjoyed alone, at the end of the meal, with nuts or other nuts. Serve slightly chilled, ideally at a temperature between 12º and 16ºC. |
