Schysst portvin (Taylor's Scion)

[sunqan]

Antar att ni sett Vinunics utskick om Taylor's Scion (prephylloxera-portvin)?

Det är säkert gott och intressant. Ännu mer intresant blir det dock när man jämför Vinunics översättning av Taylor's pressrelease...

2008 fick Taylor’s vinmakare David Guimaraens reda på att en familj i Dourodalen hade ett fat i sina ägor av ett mycket gammalt portvin som följt familjen i flera generationer. Det sägs att familjen bland annat hade sålt ett fat till Winston Churchill men ville behålla det sista fatet inom familjen.

och den engelska texten

An extremely rare, cask-aged Tawny Port dating back to the mid 19th Century has been uncovered by Head
Winemaker, David Guimaraens, in the village of Prezegueda in the Corgo Valley.

Owned by a distinguished Douro family and passed down as a private family reserve through several generations,
it only came to light after the recent death of the sole direct descendent. Her heirs decided to sell the remaining
two pipes to Taylor’s earlier this year, a third was said to have been acquired by Winston Churchill.

synd att man är en sån petimeter.

sen hittade jag följande berättelse på http://www.intramurosbrands.com/news/taylors_tawny_masterclass:

In 2009, the line of the distinguished family came to an end and without any children; her nephews consulted lawyers and agreed to sell the four remaining pipes to Taylors

och

On 13th January 2010, two casks were transferred to Taylors and due to its price and rarity they opted not to back blend this ancient port into the 40-Year Old.

spännande, undrar hur mycket som egentligen är sant ???
