Late Bottled Vintage Port - Taylor's

€23.00

Late Bottled Vintage Port from the world famous Portuguese winehouse Taylor's. It is a deep ruby red traditional LBV Port made from a blend of various local grapes from the Duoro Valley. It has matured a minimum of 4 years in oak barrels to ensure the wine is ready for consumption. Its bouquet combines fresh, intense blackcurrant and cherry aromas with subtle notes of liquorice and spice. The taste is rich with concentrated black fruit flavour supported by firm but well integrated tannins. A typical Taylor’s style that shows great balance and finesse. Enjoy it with fully flavoured cheeses or with desserts made with chocolate or berry fruits.

Taylor’s is one of the oldest still active wine companies in the world. Since its foundation in 1692 the company has remained independent. Now well into its fourth century it has establishing itself as one of the world’s most respected historic wine houses. It was the first British company to buy a wine property in the Duoro Valley in Portugal in 1744. The property, at Lugar das Lages near the old town of Régua, is still owned by the company.

Taylor’s was the first company to produce a LBV type port. This happened as late as 1970 and the idea was to produce a Port wine of a single vintage that had been fined and filtered so it could be drunk by the glass, without decanting, as soon as it was bottled. This was achieved by allowing the wine to remain longer in the wood than a Vintage Port, in other words by ‘late bottled’.
