Description: Limited Editions1863 Single Harvest Taylor Fladgate's Single Harvest 1863, drawn from the firm’s collection of very rare and valuable cask aged Ports, represents a unique piece of wine history. Like a time capsule, it offers a fascinating glimpse into a distant past. The harvest of 1863 was one of the finest of the nineteenth century and the last great Port vintage before Phylloxera spread throughout the Douro Valley. Matured for over a century and a half in oak casks, the Taylor Fladgate Single Harvest 1863 has achieved an exceptional level of density and complexity while displaying a vitality and freshness remarkable in a wine of this age. In addition, the cool and tranquil environment of the Port lodges in Oporto has allowed the wine to retain its harmony and balance. Only 1600 bottles were produced worldwide and only 280 of those were available in the United States. After more than a century and a half of resting in wood, the Taylor Fladgate Single Harvest 1863 is presented in a bespoke crystal decanter, specially produced in Italy, with an individually fitted glass stopper engraved and polished by hand in Scotland. The decanter is displayed in a superb luxury box finished in maple burl veneer. Each box contains a certificate individually signed by Taylor Fladgate's Managing Director, Adrian Bridge. What's so special about 1863? Other than the Civil War raging into its third year, and the founding of the Red Cross, it's considered the last great vintage year for port, before phylloxera destroyed Europe's vineyards. Early reviews have been stunning. Neal Martin at the Wine Advocate rated it 98 points and Mark Squires rated it 100 points, noting "this simply deserves all the plaudits you can give it."
