V.Porto Taylor´s Very Old Tawny Vinho do Porto

VVOP - Very Very Old Port is the latest in a series of limited editions of exceptional and very rare Ports drawn from Taylor's cask-aged old wine reserves. This excellent wine is one of the oldest batches released to date. It is made from a selection of rare wines aged in wood in Taylor's cellars, some of which date back to before the Second World War, reaching a concentration that makes them a magical quintessence.

REPRESENTS THE LEGACY OF ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE TRANSMITTED FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION: THE EXPERTISE OF TAYLOR’S EXPERIENCED TEAM OF COOPER WHO BUILT THE HULLS AND MAINTAINED THEM OVER THE YEARS; THE EXPERIENCE OF THE CAVE TEAM, WHICH CARED FOR THE WINE FOR DECADES AND THE ART OF THE TASTERS THAT GAVE VVOP ITS EXCEPTIONAL BALANCE AND FINESSE.

The complex and sublime character of Taylor's VVOP was born from the magical interaction with the oak casks in which the wine aged over many decades in the house's cellars. A masterpiece of cask aging, VVOP confirms Taylor’s place as a leader in producing the finest wood-aged very old Ports.
Test results
Deep brown in the center gradually fading to amber, it exhibits a narrow pale straw rim. The age of this exceptional Port wine is immediately evident. It represents the height of what long aging in wood can achieve, especially when the skillful craftsmanship of the batch imparts definition, proportion and harmony. The wine has the precision and complexity of a watch movement, all its complex elements working together in harmony. The nose is intense but finely constituted and the aromas remarkably delicate and ethereal due to its great age.

Notes of caramel, dried figs and freshly ground coffee mingle with marzipan and sultanas to give the wine an opulent plum pudding character, yet this lingers unobtrusively in the background and is enhanced by fresh notes of orange peel and apricot. . Accents of vanilla, cedar wood and cinnamon provide a subtle spicy fragrance. In the mouth, the wine has a light touch, displaying a fresh acidity and a perfect balance, but it maintains great reserves of aromas that emerge in the long finish in a smooth, seemingly endless wave. Very few Port wines maintain this balance and finesse after so many years aging in cask.
