Tasting notes
Commemorative limited-edition Very Very Old Tawny Port released by Taylor’s for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Each element of the blend was specially selected by the blending team at Taylor's – who hold a Royal Warrant – with some of the Port dating back to the beginning of her Majesty’s reign. This is a special bottling for a special moment in British history that will likely never be repeated.

This was assembled especially for our late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with an average age of 70 years. There were just 300 dozen bottles, most of which have been sold apparently. Intense tawny colour and rather a treacly nose. Extremely sweet with a bit of acidity and rancio. A baked-apple impression and then rather a hot, dry finish. Another curiosity. (JR)
Brownish-tawny colour in the glass with a hint of green. Very intense and layered on the nose with notes of cinnamon, roasted coffee, marzipan and treacle. The palate has a rich viscosity and matched intensity from the nose. The flavour profile follows from the nose but there is more of a dried-citrus and cherry tone, pushing through to match the spice. Succulent yet fine with mouth-watering acidity. Very long and very fine. (TP)
