<p></p><p>Deep chestnut brown at the centre gradually fading to amber and a narrow edge of pale straw at the rim. All its complex elements working together in harmony. The nose is intense but finely constituted and the aromas remarkably delicate and ethereal given its great age. Hints of vanilla, cedar wood and cinnamon provide a subtle spicy redolence. On the palate the wine has a light touch displaying bright acidity and perfect balance but holds massive reserves of aroma which emerge on the long finish in a seemingly endless mellow surge. Very few Ports retain such balance and finesse after so many years maturing in cask.</p> <p>Taylor Fladgate VVOP is bets served after a meal, slowly treasured as a desert in its own right.</p>

<p></p><p><span>In  2008  Taylor’s  wine  maker,  David  Guimaraens,  became aware of  the existence of a </span><span>very old and rare cask aged port</span><span>, dating from the period before Phylloxera arrived in the Douro Valley and destroyed most of its vineyards.  The wine, over 150 years in age, belonged to a distinguished Douro family and was stored in a wine lodge in the village of Prezegueda in  the Corgo  Valley. A treasured heirloom, the wine had been passed down from one generation to the next and attempts to persuade the family to part with it had been unsuccessful</span></p>
