LBV (Late Bottled Vintage)

Our LBV is a great value and a great introduction to age worthy Port wine. This elegant and complex 2017 single-harvest red Port was bottled in 2022. While it is more approchable than the vintage when it is young, it will continue to develop further complexity in the bottle over the next 10-15 years.

2017

Reviewed by Roger Voss, on May, 2023

Aged partly in tank and partly in wood, the wine is maturing well. It is not yet ready, with tannins still driving the wine along with the blackberry fruits. It will be better from 2024.
