VVOP White is an extremely rare Port wine and the latest in a series of limited releases of very fine old aged Ports. To be considered a VVOP these wines have to be over 80 Years of age. This unique blend has been drawn from exceptional lots matured in seasoned oak casks in Taylor’s cellars, with some of the white Ports dating back to 1896.
Tasting Note
Luminous golden orange, amber core, with radiant bronze tones and greenish olive hues on the rim. This isn’t simply an old white Port; this is a living time capsule. Each sip takes you on a journey that only time can bestow, offering quiet grandeur and rarity of taste. Its depth of nose is astounding, long, opulent and poised. A rich scent of dried apricots, almond biscotti, orange zest and wild lavender attack the senses and then finishes with sun drenched jasmine and orange blossom.
On the palate purity and elegance of fruit. Notes of roasted hazelnuts, almonds, tonka beans, blood grapefruit, honeycomb, saffron spice and a background salinity that lingers with delicate finesse. Concentrated to a magical essence, the wine coats the palate and ends with a balanced intensity and delicate finish.
