Taylor's Victory Port - Tawny Port 80 Year Old
In stock
Taylor’s Victory Port is a masterpiece of patience and expertise. Aged for eight decades in hand-crafted, seasoned oak casks, this exceptional Tawny Port embodies the pinnacle of Taylor’s unrivalled expertise in fine Port winemaking.
To create this extraordinary blend, Taylor’s has drawn upon its vast reserves of very old cask-aged Port, carefully preserved in its historic cellars in Oporto. Among these reserves lies a precious treasury of rare and historically significant wines, representing a tiny volume of the house’s finest aged stocks.
Only in the most exceptional circumstances are these rare gems unveiled, and for Victory Port, Taylor’s expert blenders have meticulously selected a few of these remarkable vintages.
Once chosen, these individual wines were harmoniously blended with Taylor’s centuries-old expertise, ensuring a seamless integration of flavours, complexity, and depth. The blend was then allowed to marry together in cask for several months, nurtured until it achieved perfect balance and elegance.
Each of the 1,945 bottles of Taylor’s Victory Port is individually numbered and presented in a bespoke luxury case, designed to reflect the grandeur and historical significance of this edition.
The packaging of this exclusive release further enhances its distinction. The elegant case, crafted from ash wood, exudes refinement and quality, making it a collector’s item in its own right.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich mahogany, fading to copper gold on the rim. The wine envelops the nose with a superb and heady mixture of opulent and seductive aromas. A wave of rum and raisin, molasses and caramel are overlaid with delicate notes of coffee beans, golden sultanas, sweet cigar leaf, combined with an elegant nuttiness and the subtle scent of fine oak.
Palate
On the palate hints of nutmeg, gingerbread, anise and quince, quickly followed by a surge of black pepper, rich figgy plum pudding and confit apricot. The wine is in perfect balance with sweetness, a smooth velvety palate which is lifted by a crisp acidity which gives the wine an attractive freshness and elegance.
Finish
The finish is immensely long, finely constituted and wonderfully balanced. A wine with incredible depth and layers of complexity. The perfect way to remember such a poignant and historic event as peace was declared at the end of the Second World War.
