Late Bottled Vintage, also known as LBV, is the most premium port style brought in England. Matured in wood for four to six years, it is ready to drink when bottled and does not need to be decanted. This Port can be served by the glass for several weeks after the cork is drawn.
Launched in 1970 by Taylors current chairman, Alistair Robertson, Taylor’s LBV – the original Late Bottled Vintage – remains the benchmark in the category; the first choice of the knowledgeable port drinker.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, it combines fresh, intense blackcurrant and cherry aromas with subtle notes of liquorice and spice. The rich and concentrated black fruit flavour is supported by a firm but well structured tannins.
