It makes perfect sense. Expensive, classy, rare, irresistable but or essentially... out of reach:
launches 155 years old Port!
In 2008 winemaker David Guimaraes tasted an excellent stored and treated Port from before the Phylloxera (a XIX century plague that devastated most of the european casts) era at a family in the Douro. Taylor’s will now market this 1855 wine entitled Scion in a gift box and in a edition of about 1,400 bottles in December. (Scion: a descendent of a distinguished family.)
I was fortunate in 2004 to visit the Taylor's caves in Gaia near Oporto. Astounding caves! An enormous place where so many wine barrels
and bottles rest, the result of the seat and blood of many generations.
Do it yourself a virtual tour. Amazing!

ps: Oh, btw each bottle will be available for the price of 2.500 euros
