Merchant's description

Taylor’s has one of the most extensive reserves of very old cask-aged Port of any producer and includes a collection of rare Single Harvest Ports. These are Ports from a single year which are released after 50 years having aged in seasoned oak casks and achieved peak maturity. The 1970 is the seventh such release and is a rich, dense and sumptuous wine with delicious notes of dried fruits, candied peel, coffee, butterscotch and spices.
