50?
Two Celebration Ports

Birthday or Anniversary, 50 years is a big number.  Looking for a special bottle to help celebrate?  These two Anniversary Release Tawny Ports might fit the bill.

1966 Taylor’s Single Harvest Port $250
This Colheita comes in its own wooden box – available special order only (arrival date is approximately mid-June.)  Orders must be prepaid on order confirmation

“The 1966 Single Harvest Tawny Port (i.e., a Colheita) is a traditional blend, aged in French and American oak. It comes in at 183 grams per liter of residual sugar. Surprisingly rich and fresh, this seems younger than its age. The complexity here is not quite as great as with some and the nuances of molasses and the like are controlled. On the other side of the coin, it has a rather sensual texture, finishing with a sugary burst. Underneath is the expected acidity and a bit of pop. Overall, it is rather seductive and quite delicious.”  94 Points Wine Advocate

1966 Oporto Kopke Colheita $223 for 750ml,  $114 for 375ml 
Intense brown color with brick halo, illustrating superbly its longevity. Presents an involving bouquet of dried fruits, with evident smoke notes, being silky and delicate in the taste. Endowed of an excellent structure and sophisticated elegance, the intensity of plum, dried figs and vanilla flavors, outline a unique and divine style resulting in a persistent finish.
