Taylor's 40 Anos Porto

Description

A sublime port wine that displays golden and olive‑green hues, the result of many years spent aging in barrels. Decades of evaporation have concentrated this extraordinary wine, giving it exceptional density and a powerful nose of dried fruit, honey, and a hint of spices. Notes of nutmeg, roasted coffee and an intense sense of dried fruit converge, both in bouquet and on the palate. Its rich, intense, voluptuous and almost viscous texture culminates in an incredible lingering finish. Founded over three centuries ago, in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest port‑wine trading houses dedicated exclusively to producing port wine, especially its finest styles. As an independent company whose success is inseparable from that of the Douro region itself, Taylor’s remains committed to protecting this beautiful area by practising viticulture that is both economically and environmentally sustainable. The future of the Douro Valley and its unique environment is also the future of port wine, one of the world’s great classic wines and an irreplaceable part of humanity’s heritage. For many, Taylor’s is the most illustrious port‑wine producer, and drinking its wines is the most sublime of experiences. The bottling year may not match the image shown. (illustrative image)
