    Tasting Notes: 
    Balance and finesse, with great consistency of quality and style. The 30 year old tawny shows incredible length with smooth butterscotch and caramel flavours.
     
    After every vintage, a reserve of very concentrated and powerful red ports from Taylor's own vineyards is laid aside to age in oak casks. Those that have reached their peak after 30 years are then blended together for balance and finesse and to ensure consistency of quality and style. Unlike most spirits, whose quality and characteristics do not vary to a great extent from year to year, wines from different harvests do vary in character and concentration. 

    Wines from some harvests also age more quickly than others. To ensure continuity of quality and style and uniform ageing characteristics, it is often necessary to blend across several vintages, rather than within the wines of a given year. This is why the age claim of the old tawnies refers to an apparent age, attested to by an independent government body, the Port Wine Institute and not to a minimum age as in the case, for example, of Scotch Whisky.

    Serving:
    Excellent with soft cheeses such as brie; and a superb dessert wine, particularly with dishes made with coffee or almonds. Taylor's 30 Year Old Tawny is delicious served lightly chilled at the end of the meal. Ports of this subtle complexity deserve undivided attention.
