Taylor’s Port Cellars Taylor’s secured a remarkable collection of old, cask-aged Ports when it purchased Wiese & Krohn in 2013. A year later Taylor’s launched its first Single Harvest Port (an aged tawny Port, also known as a colheita) from the 1964 vintage. The newly released 1970 is the seventh in the series of this limited edition of 50-year-old wines.
