(Port) Wine of the month November 2020: Taylor very old Tawny Port - Kingsman edition

When it comes down to Port one needs to blow in his own trumpet to create some attention. Even better if you have a full orchestra at hand… The first two Kingsman movies were James Bond alike “very british”, so that a decent glass of Port is rather fitting for the third part (in cinemas February 2021). The price could be open for discussion, but it is a fascinating Port and a fantastic PR (0,5 Liter decanter for 3.600 EUR with just 700 bottles made): Deep dark core in the dark-red colour with orange reflections. Fantastically intense and balanced bouquet with a variety of nuts, coffee, caramel, figs and milk-chocolate. Despite the complexity, everything appears very well balanced. The palate continues the nose perfectly with a perfect equilibrium of acidity and sweetness (very hard to find in old Ports): Malt, orange-peel, pepper and hints of balsamico. Complex and very long aftertaste. Head winemaker David Guimaraens blended this Port from very old casks and used averagely 90 year old Ports. I am quite sure that Eggsy will properly enjoy this.
