Taylor’s Vintage 1963 is a mature vintage Port wine from the historic Taylor’s Port house in the Douro Valley. The 1963 vintage is regarded as one of the greatest of the 20th century, and Taylor’s is consistently cited as one of the top performers of the year. This Port was matured for two years in oak vats before being bottled for long-term ageing. Now fully mature, it offers a profound and complex bouquet of walnuts, dried figs, raisins and a hint of spiritual warmth. The palate is incredibly concentrated and still retains a remarkable level of structural power and grip.
