Taylor's Very Very Old Charles III Coronation Port 75cl
590,00 €
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.
O blend The result 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.
Tasting Notes: 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.

Description
For many, Taylor's is the most illustrious wine producing house in Port and drinking its wines constitutes the most sublime of experiences.
Created 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, especially, its best styles.
Above all, Taylor's is an independent company in which some family members play leadership roles in all areas of activity. The company's long and uninterrupted family tradition has allowed it to provide continuity and clarity of mission, both essential attributes of any great Port wine house. It also allowed us to improve the skills and knowledge necessary to produce the best Ports, which are constantly refined in light of the experience that is passed from generation to generation.
Taylor's is also respected as a producer of wood-aged Port wines and holds one of the largest reserves of rare cask-aged wines, of which the distinctive aged Tawny Port wines stand out. The house is also known as the creator of LBV (Late Bottled Vintage), a style that the company pioneered and of which it continues to be the main producer.
Successive generations, with their experience, have strived to improve their knowledge and ability to produce increasingly better Port wines.
Based in Porto and the Douro region, the company is involved in all stages of the production of its Port wines, from planting the vineyard and growing the grapes to the elaboration, aging and bottling of wine batches. The family's commitment to the future of Port wine is demonstrated in its dedication to achieving the highest standards in Port wine production, its sustained investment in all areas of the company's operations and, ultimately, its determination to preserve the unique environment of the Douro region through the promotion of sustainable and responsible viticulture.
