When many of the wines that make up the blend were first put in cask, there was no electricity across much of the Douro Valley, and grapes were still all trodden by foot in granite lagares. Some of the vineyards from which the wines originated now no longer exist – the space where they were is now occupied by the Douro River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdrian Bridge\u003c\/b\u003e, MD of Taylor’s Port, said: \u003ci\u003e“This is much more than launching a new Port wine.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eOn 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.
