Taylor's +40 Anos Porto (Engarrafado Em 1989) Porto

Description

A sublime Port wine, showing shades of golden and olive‑green hues, the result of many years spent in a cask. Decades of evaporation have concentrated this extraordinary wine, giving it exceptional density and a powerful nose of dried fruit, honey, and a touch of spices. Notes of nutmeg, roasted coffee, and an intense sense of dried fruits converge, both in the bouquet and on the palate. The rich, intense, voluptuous, and almost viscous texture culminates in an incredibly persistent finish. Founded more than three centuries ago, in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest Port wine trading houses dedicated exclusively to the production of Port wine and, in particular, 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 practicing 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 producer of Port wine, and tasting its wines constitutes the most sublime experience. The bottling year may not match the image presented.
