V.Porto Taylor`s very very old tawny Coronation King Charles Vinho do Porto

LIMITED EDITIONS Coronation Port
To mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on May 6, 2023, Taylor's has reserved a very limited quantity of Very Very Old Tawny Port to be bottled as a commemorative limited edition. To create a wine worthy of the occasion, with its importance in the national life of the United Kingdom, Taylor's tasters used some of the oldest and rarest Port Wines aging in oak casks in the company's cellars in Porto.

The resulting blend provides a magnificent way to celebrate this historic milestone and wish Her Majesty a long and glorious reign. Founded in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest and most respected Port wine houses. His Majesty King Charles III is the 15th monarch to reign during the company's lifetime.

Dark tea color surrounded by a yellow gold crown. Subtle olive green reflections on the rim highlight the wine's great age. The nose is majestic and firm. Multiple intertwined dimensions and layers of flavor have evolved over decades of aging in oak casks. A backdrop of cedar, balsamic aroma gives the wine a fresh, distinctive character. All of this is covered in warmer notes of caramel, marzipan and vanilla wrapped in a soft and fine aroma of wood. The wine owes much of its seductive character to a magical mix of spicy notes - nutmeg, cloves and black pepper - that emerge as the wine opens in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with wonderfully integrated acidity and alcohol, as well as a smooth, silky texture that is the hallmark of the best cask-aged Port wines. The intense and complex flavors linger in a seemingly endless finish. Elegant and graceful, this wine has reached the perfect age to be enjoyed.
