Taylors releases Very Old Tawny Port

Port company Taylor's will release a 150 year old tawny port called Scion this December at a price tag of £2,500 a bottle. The port has been classified by the Port Institute as Very Old Tawny and the entire stock of 1,400 bottles will be available. the wine is in perfect condition and dates back to 1855, before the phylloxera epidemic and as such is one of the rarest in the world.

Taylor’s secured the one-off Port from a distinguished Douro family who had kept the wine in a private family reserve. They had been in talks with the owner prior to her death and were re-contacted once she'd passed away leaving no heirs to her estate.
