O Produtor, tasting note published in June 10th 2021

Deep mahogany core with a narrow amber coloured rim. On the nose, a succession of subtle spicy aromas opens up against a dense background of molasses and treacle. Notes of sawn oak and vanilla give way to a spicy wave of nutmeg, black pepper and ginger. Gradually the rich, sumptuous aromas of age, nut, marzipan, caramel and mocha emerge, followed by rich notes of fig plum. On the palate, the wine is in perfect balance, with sweetness and acidity in perfect harmony and wonderfully integrated spirit. On the mid-palate, the wine releases a burst of opulent, smooth flavour that is lifted by crisp acidity as it flows to the endless finish. A wine of extraordinary depth and depth that continues to surprise with multiple layers and dimensions of aroma.

Taylor´s

Taylor’s Single Harvest 1863, drawn from the firm’s collection of very rare and valuable cask aged Ports, represents a unique piece of wine history. Like a time capsule, it offers a fascinating glimpse into a distant past.

The harvest of 1863 was one of the finest of the nineteenth century and the last great Port vintage before Phylloxera spread throughout the Douro Valley.

Matured for over a century and a half in oak casks, the Taylor’s Single Harvest 1863 has achieved an exceptional level of density and complexity while displaying a vitality and freshness remarkable in a wine of this age. In addition, the cool and tranquil environment of the Port lodges in Oporto has allowed the wine to retain its harmony and balance.

The Taylor’s Single Harvest 1863 is presented in a bespoke crystal decanter, specially produced in Italy, with an individually fitted glass stopper engraved and polished by hand in Scotland. The decanter is displayed in a superb luxury box finished in maple burl veneer. Each box contains a certificate individually signed by Taylor’s Managing Director, Adrian Bridge.

The Taylor’s Single Harvest 1863 is being released as an exclusive limited edition, corresponding to only two casks of wine, and is offered on an allocation basis. A wine of this age and historical interest is very rarely available for purchase and the Single Harvest 1863 represents a unique opportunity for the collector and enthusiast.
