TAYLOR’S HISTORICAL COLLECTION ‘THE MALLET’ RESERVE TAWNY PORT NV

This blend was carefully put together for this limited edition from specially selected Ports from Taylor’s extensive aged Tawny stocks, aged in seasoned oak Port pipes. Its character is unique for this bottling, with the characteristic Taylor’s richness and with its distinctive grip on the finish. The wine is a skilfully blended Tawny Port, harmonious and balanced, with all the intensity and finesse derived from ageing in seasoned oak casks.

Winery Notes
"The mature, opulent nose opens with a warm redolence of coffee, butterscotch and dried fruit, with notes of plum and raisin. Around this rich, mellow core are layers of spicy, woody and nutty aroma, as well as discreet floral scents, giving the wine an intricate, subtle and seductive complexity. On the palate it is round and dense, with a smooth silky texture. This combines with luscious toffee and preserved fruit flavours which continue into the long, warming finish. This wine is an impressive showcase of the traditional skills of cask ageing and blending, with each component beautifully integrated and bringing an extra dimension of aroma and flavour."

Decanter UK
"The Taylor’s Historical series is a collection of specially blended, cask-aged Ports presented in exclusive bespoke bottles inspired by historic bottle moulds. The Mallet is the third release in this limited edition series. It's a delicious tawny, with opulent butterscotch, dried fruit, coffee and raisin notes, long, spicy, warming and dense. The great acidity keeps it fresh. Enjoy at the end of a meal with nuts or blue cheese, or pair it with a chocolate or nut-based dessert."
