Taylors Historic Collection Reserve Tawny Port
A core of deep brick red fading to russet on the rim. A beautifully mature and complex nose, full of expressive, subtle nuances. Aromas of plum, fig and sultana blend with a mellow perfume of marzipan and butterscotch. Hints of cigar box, cedarwood and leather add an exotic dimension to the nose.
The wine is seductively round and smooth with discreet, beautifully integrated tannins adding an attractive dryness and grip. The wine is full of rich, fruit cake flavours with some fresh plum character emerging on the long finish. A skilfully blended Tawny Port, harmonious and balanced, with all the intensity and finesse derived from ageing in seasoned oak casks.
This bottle was inspired by the âchestnutâ shaped wine bottles manufactured in England between about 1715 and 1740. In Britain, where they were used mainly in the 1720s and early 1730s, âchestnutâ wine bottles were relatively unusual but their use in continental Europe was more widespread. The particular variant on which this limited edition bottle was based, with its narrow oval profile, is often described as having a âflat chestnutâ shape.
