Port Wine Taylor’s 20 Years Old Tawny 75cl
Region: Douro, Portugal
Taylor’s is one of the most highly respected producers of aged tawny Port wines.
20 Year Old Tawny Port is fully matured in seasoned oak casks each holding about 630 litres of wine.
Here, over many years of ageing, the Port wine gradually takes on its characteristic amber ‘tawny’ colour, slowly developing the complex mellow flavours and the smooth luscious palate which are the hallmarks of this style of port.
Taylor’s blends its magnificent 20 year old tawny Ports from its extensive reserves of old cask aged Ports matured in the firm’s cool and tranquil cellars (known as ‘lodges’) in Oporto on Portugal’s Atlantic coast.
Alcohol: 20%
In the 20 Year Old tawny, the fruit has mellowed further than in the 10 Year Old, and the spicy, nutty aromas of ageing are more powerful and intense.
The most popular 20 Year Old Aged Tawny Port in the United States of America.
These Port wines are bottled when ready to drink and do not require any further ageing in bottle.
