Taylor's 1961 Very Old Single Harvest Port

Taylor's 1961 Very Old Single Harvest Port - DOC Porto 75cl Bottle - 20% Vol.

The 60s are known as the years of the "rebels" because of the cultural and ideological changes of the time. It is also a decade full of memorable wines that are almost impossible to find today. The Taylor’s Vintage Port 1961 has a striking balanced taste that is still pure and clear despite its many years of ageing in wood.

Tasting notes

Color

Walnut brown, surrounded by a broad rim of pale gold with olive highlights.

Aroma

Powerful and tremendously complex, its astonishing density revealing numerous nuances and aspects of a lively aromatic range.

Taste

At first, soft, fragrant notes of molasses, dried figs, and sultanas emerge, mingling with nutty aromas of marzipan. As soon as the bouquet opens, scents of cedarwood and dried tobacco leaves emerge, along with subtle spicy notes of black pepper and cardamom and a fleeting fresh hint of citrus. All this enveloped by a powerful whiff of vanilla aroma, the legacy of decades of ageing in barrels. The wine is very concentrated in the mouth, round and dense, with a velvety texture, quite rich and sweet on the mid-palate.

Finish

Fresh acidity followed by a burst of lingering flavours of caramel, almond, orange marmalade, and dried fruit. A wonderfully balanced wine that is still clear and lively despite its years of ageing in wood.
