Description
The Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage Port is one of the most famous Late Bottled Vintage Ports in the world. This port is made from grapes from a single exceptional vintage and then aged for four to six years in large oak barrels. This combines the power and intensity of a Vintage Port with the advantage of being ready to drink immediately. A rich, elegant port with great depth and an impressively long finish.
Ripe cherries, blackcurrants, dark chocolate and cocoa
This Late Bottled Vintage Port has a deep ruby red colour and an expressive bouquet of ripe cherries, blackcurrants and plums. You will also discover refined aromas of dark chocolate, cocoa, figs, cedarwood, mocha and a subtle spiciness. On the palate, the port is powerful and concentrated, with ripe dark fruit, soft tannins and a long, warm finish in which liquorice and roasted notes beautifully return.
Four to six years of wood aging for optimal balance
For this Late Bottled Vintage, Taylor's exclusively uses grapes from a single vintage, originating from carefully selected vineyards in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. After fermentation, the wine ages for four to six years in large oak barrels. This develops extra softness and complexity, while retaining its fruity character. Unlike a classic Vintage Port, this LBV is ready to drink immediately and does not need to be decanted.
Perfect with chocolate, nuts and blue cheeses
This Late Bottled Vintage Port combines excellently with desserts based on dark chocolate, chocolate mousse and brownies. Its rich character also comes into its own with almonds, walnuts, figs and blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort. In addition, it is a delicious port to enjoy neat after an extensive dinner.
Taylor's Port
