Information
Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is a rich and full-bodied fortified wine with a deep ruby color. Its aromas of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and blackcurrants, are complemented by hints of spice, such as cinnamon and black pepper. On the palate, it is intense and complex, with a perfect balance between fruitiness, sweetness, and acidity. Its tannins are firm but well-integrated, creating a smooth and elegant wine. LBV Port is a great wine to pair with strong cheeses, such as Stilton and Roquefort, as well as with chocolate desserts, such as chocolate mousse and chocolate truffles. It is also a great wine to enjoy on its own, as a postprandial drink or a nightcap.
Fun facts
LBV Port, a relatively recent innovation in the world of Port, was first developed in the 1950s by Taylor's Port.

The invention of LBV Port revolutionized the Port wine industry, providing consumers with a high-quality, ready-to-drink option that maintains the elegance and depth of traditional Vintage Ports.
