An extremely rare cask-aged Tawny Port dating back to the mid 19th Century has been uncovered by Head Winemaker David Guimaraens in the village of Prezegueda in the Corgo Valley. Owned by a distinguished Douro family and passed down as a private family reserve through several generations it only came to light after the recent death of the sole direct descendent. Her heirs decided to sell the remaining two pipes to Taylor’s earlier this year a third was said to have been acquired by Winston Churchill. This unique piece of history is now available at vintagewinegifts.co.uk. Rober Parker score 100/100 points "clear dark brown colour that looks like a mature Tokaji with thick tears in the glass. It has a very intense almost honeyed bouquet with allspice singed leather pressed rose petals molasses mint and a touch of dried fig. The oxidation is minimal which is quite remarkable for its age a sense of ebullience and joie-de-vivre bursting forth. The palate is full-bodied with intense honeyed fruits touches of fig date and liquorice vying for attention biting acidity that cuts through the intense fruit. This is unbelievably fresh and vibrant with an almost Sauternes-like quality on the honey-glazed hazelnut-tinged finish. It has unbelievable length. Simply stunning." This vintage port is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew wine pourer drip stopper & wine stopper) [worth £14.99] at no extra cost.
