Taylor's Single Harvest Colheita Porto 1970

- A pale mahogany core surrounded by a broad pale gold rim with subtle olive-green reflections. Notes of sawn wood and cigar leaf, on a background of cedar, balsam and citrus fruits. These are followed by a warmer, softer fragrance of marzipan, walnut and coffee, notes of sultanas and plum, and spicy touches of black pepper and cardamom. Finally, the nose opens with a discreet salty dimension, with notes of toast and wild herbs. On the palate, the wine has a smooth, velvety texture. Rich, dense and sumptuous, it coats the tongue with an opulent and smooth flavor, coffee and caramel with notes of nuts and candied orange peel, but with a remarkable freshness and an extraordinarily long finish.
