Merchant's description
Founded in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest Port houses and is amongst the most respected producers of Tawny Port thanks in large part to their extensive reserves of rare cask aged wines from which these wood aged Ports are made. The 40YO Tawny is a wonderfully rich and voluptuous wine with delicious notes of dried figs and apricots, accented by hints of honey, nutmeg and espresso. Best served slightly chilled.
