New Taylor "Very Old Single Harvest" 50-Year Tawnies

[Tom D.]

It looks like Port producers have figured out the equation OLD = $$$
Interesting, for sure, but priced too high for me.

Question: So is this technically a Colheita or not?

Hi Tom, i think Wiese & Krohn would have sold it as colheita 1964.

Yes, they are Colheitas and I believe say that on the label (as required), albeit in a small font along with other stuff.

The only tawny that is allowed to have a year on the label is a Colheita.

People on this forum look for colheitas. But I think this labeling is an attempt to reach new consumers.

I think they are designed as birth year wines. 164 for the coming year, 1965 for next year, etc.
