Taylors Late Bottled Vintage Port Miniature

LBV is a high quality but more affordable and immediately drinkable port. An alternative to vintage port to be enjoyed by the glass on everyday occasions.

It was first launched in 1970 by Taylor's current Chairman, Alistair Robertson, with the late bottled vintage 1965. Although many other houses now offer this wonderful style of wine, Taylor's late bottled vintage remains the benchmark in the category. The first choice of the knowledgeable port drinker.

The Taylors late bottled vintage port miniature is the best way to taste the port before buying the larger bottle. It also makes a great present or stocking filler.

• Deep ruby-black core and narrow red rim with purple highlights
• The intense and youthful nose displays very fine, complex red and black berry fruit aromas
• Ripe strawberry notes and discreet leafy, herbal scents in a powerful redolence of dark brambly woodland fruit and blackcurrant jam
• As is typical of Taylor’s, the nose is beautiful with very fine, focused fruit
• The palate has impressive density and vigour, with thick, mouth filling tannins providing both structure and body
• Luscious berry fruit flavours linger into the long finish
• Approachable style, ready for drinking now by the glass

The wines used to blend Taylor’s LBV come from a reserve of some of the best full bodied red ports, from grapes grown on Taylor’s own vineyards and on other top properties in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior areas.
