Description
Taylor Fladgate’s 40 Year Old Tawny Port is a masterclass in aged port wine craftsmanship, hailing from Portugal’s renowned Douro Region. This non-vintage red blend has earned unanimous acclaim, securing 95 points from Wine Spectator, Enthusiast, and Advocate for its unparalleled depth and complexity. Crafted from decades of patient aging, this luxury wine gift offers a symphony of mature flavors—dates, dried cherry, hazelnut husk, green tea, and singed sandalwood—united by a vibrant acidity that lingers long on the palate. Its velvety texture and balanced tension make it a standout among rare port wines.
Unlike bolder styles, this Tawny balances elegance with intensity, showcasing marmalade-like richness and concentrated aromatics that deepen as the wine breathes. Perfect for sophisticated occasions or cellar collections, it distinguishes itself through its dense, gripping finish and refined complexity compared to younger counterparts like Taylor’s 30-Year-Old Tawny. Serve at 58–62°F to fully appreciate its nuanced profile—cool enough to highlight its acidity yet warm enough to release its aromatic layers.
With 20% alcohol by volume and bottled with a premium bar top cork in 2014, this limited-edition port is a testament to Taylor Fladgate’s legacy. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking an exceptional sipping experience or a rare addition to their collection, it delivers on reputation without compromise. Whether enjoyed solo or as a conversation starter at gatherings, this aged gem redefines the artistry of tawny ports.
