The NV Very Old Tawny Port Kingsman Edition is a field blend bottled in 2020 with an average time in barrel of 90 years. It has 206 grams of residual sugar and a bar-top cork. As always, old Tawnies are simply a joy to just smell, but that's nowhere near the best part here. Unctuous in texture and very concentrated, this still manages to be rather elegant, with some brightness and lift to the fruit to go with the power on the finish. It does show its age a bit on opening, but it held perfectly for the relatively short time I had with it. The finish is more dark molasses than caramel, as befits a very old and aging Tawny. The key here, though, is the combination of brightness with the unctuous and almost creamy texture. The two make an enchanting combination that leads to a long, lively and tasty finish. This is pretty fine, and you would expect nothing less from a special presentation by Taylor's. The winery's website mentions a touch of British humor regarding this bottling (and its connection to the Kingsman film series), but there's nothing funny about this. It's pretty serious stuff. (MS)

This has a distinctly mature edge, with toasted sesame, pistachio, green tea and date notes that move through a gently mulled finish that picks up buckwheat and espresso cream hints. Atypical, this is more akin to a cross of Pedro Ximénez Sherry with the racy edge and viscosity of a tawny Port. Drink now. 100 cases imported. (JM)

Notes

The Taylor Fladgate Kingsman Edition is an ultra-rare, nearly 90-year-old Tawny Port created in collaboration with filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, writer and director of The King’s Man film. Drawn from some of Taylor’s oldest cask reserves, this Port is blended in tiny quantities (only 700 bottles were produced) and packaged in a bespoke crystal decanter with gold detailing. It is a true collector’s piece. The wine has layered, rich aromas of butterscotch, dried fruits, spices, and cedar, a smooth and velvety palate lifted by fresh acidity, and a long, complex finish. With around 206 g/L of residual sugar and typical 20% ABV, it’s a decadent, extremely rare Tawny Port.
