Taylor's 10 Year Old Tawny Port is a superb expression of the aged tawny style, crafted from carefully selected reserves matured in seasoned oak casks in the cool lodges of Oporto. Over a decade of ageing, the wine develops its signature amber hue along with a smooth, mellow character and layered complexity. Elegant and well-balanced, it combines delicate wood notes with rich aromas of mature fruit, delivering a luscious palate and refined finish. Ready to enjoy upon bottling, it stands as a benchmark for quality in aged tawny port.

Taylor's Fine Ruby, a blend of full bodied Port wines aged for around two years in large oak vats in Taylor's cellars, or 'lodges', in Vila Nova de Gaia. Stylish fruity nose, full of intense concentrated blackcurrant and cherry aromas. Full bodied and firm, the palate is crammed with luscious black fruit flavours.

Taylor's Fine Tawny Port is particularly popular in Continental Europe where it is drunk predominantly as an aperitif. For those preferring a lighter style, this versatile Port can also be enjoyed after meals. Mellow nose of succulent ripe berry fruit with aromas of butterscotch, figs and prunes interwoven with attractive nutty and spicy aromas. Smooth and round on the palate, full of rich strawberry jam flavours.

This blend was carefully put together for this limited edition from specially selected Ports from Taylor's extensive aged Tawny stocks, aged in seasoned oak Port pipes. At the beginning of the 18th century, bottles were hand blown and bulbous in shape. As the 18th century progressed, bottles became taller and more cylindrical. The first stage in this evolution was the appearance of the 'mallet' shaped bottle which had become well established in England by around 1730. Their sides were often tapered towards the shoulder rather than completely parallel. However, by around 1750, the 'mallet' bottle had developed a more cylindrical form. This Limited Edition bottle is inspired by the 'mallet-cylinder' bottle from that period, the immediate predecessor of today's cylindrical wine bottle.
