Wine Description:
Taylor's Reserve Tawny Port Historic Limited Edition offers a deep reddish-brown hue with a brick-red rim. The nose is rich and complex, featuring coffee, caramel, dried fruits, plums, raisins, nuts, spices, wood, and subtle florals. On the palate, it's intense, harmonious, and silky, culminating in toffee and preserved fruit notes. This blend showcases the art of port wine aging and marriage, with integrated components adding aromatic depth. The bottle design draws inspiration from 18th-century "mallet" bottles. This limited edition combines the finest tawnys aged in Taylor's Lodges, delivering balance, intensity, and finesse from oak barrel aging.

Winemaker Dirk van der Niepoort dubs it the "little brother" of his Vintage Ports. Why? Because it shares its origin with grapes from the same areas within the estate in the Cima Corgo region, Vale de Mendiz. These over seventy-year-old vines yield limited fruit with highly expressive aromas. The winemaking process mirrors that of its counterpart. Grapes are meticulously handpicked, then traditionally foot-trodden in Lagares. The wine matures in large wooden barrels known as "balseiros" in Gaia. Niepoort bottles their LBV four to six years after harvest, resulting in a truly exceptional wine with a character all its own.
