Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage Port, 2019

Grapes: A blend of Touriga Nacional,Touriga Franca & Tinta Roriz

Full bodied and fruity. Powerful dark cherry and black fruit aromas. The floral and herbal notes that come through on the nose add lovely nuances to the bouquet. The palate shows great intense fruit flavours and fantastic depth and complexity. The wine is harmonious, well-crafted and authoritative.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Ambitious LBV. Tannin is structured and firm. Grenadine plus maraschino cherry."

93/100 points (Silver Medal), International Wine Challenge, 2024

"Watermelon rind, bramble, crème de mûre and an attractive aguardiente lift. Long spirity finish with big tannins and vibrant acidity"

92/100 points (Silver Medal), Decanter World Wine Awards, 2024

Vintage Port is kept in wood for only twenty months or so before being transferred to the bottle where it will continue to age. Late Bottled Vintage, as the name suggests, is bottled later, remaining in wood between four and six years. During this relatively long period of wood ageing, an LBV matures and settles down - it is ready to drink when bottled, does not need to be decanted and can be served by the glass for several weeks after the cork is drawn.

Perfect to accompany chocolate desserts, and blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort.
