These are Ports from a single year which age to full maturity in seasoned oak casks and display the year of harvest on the label. Taylor Fladgate has made a limited release, each year, of a Single Harvest Port made 50 years previously. The seventh in the series is the 1970 Single Harvest.

100 Points - Tasting Panel

This may be my most exceptional tasting experience of the year: a 50-year-old warhorse that dances like a newborn colt. Fresh and juicy, with complexity and layers of flavor, including bright, pure, orange marmalade–scented fruit; dried fig; toasty, mature rancio; and vanilla. Sweet but racy, with pronounced refinement. You have to kiss a lot of frogs in this business, but this is one of those experiences that makes it all worthwhile.

98 Points - Decanter

Pale red-mahogany in colour with an olive-green tinge to the rim. Gloriously lifted and maderised on the nose with a touch of sultana, molasses and roasted coffee. Rich and beautifully intense on the palate; a smooth, slightly syrupy resonance offset by a lithe streak of acidity, which keeps the wine fresh all the way through. Long and languorous on the finish, with lovely toasty, malty complexity. Superbly laidback and hedonistic.

97 Points - Wine Spectator
This is extremely refined, with a sleek-edged mix of green tea, date, white ginger, toasted sesame, bitter almond and bitter orange notes curling through, laced with flashes of salted caramel, singed alder and sandalwood. There's a dry, nervy spine through the finish, encased in a more flattering glycerol feel that adds amazing length, leaving echoes of all the elements in its wake. A special wine.
