Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Vintage Port

FULL BODIED & FRUITY

Late Bottled Vintage, or LBV, is the most popular premium Port style in both England and Canada, representing one in five purchases of Port in the UK and over a quarter of all Port enjoyed by Canadians.

Deep ruby color. The elegant and stylish nose combines fresh, intense blackcurrant and cherry aromas with subtle notes of licorice and spice. On the palate the rich and concentrated black fruit flavor is supported by firm but well integrated tannins. True to the Taylor's style the wine shows great balance and finesse.

LBV was developed as a high quality but more affordable and immediately drinkable alternative to Vintage port to be enjoyed by the glass on everyday occasions. It was originally created 41 years ago by Taylor's current Chairman, Alistair Robertson.

Although many other houses now offer this wonderful style of wine, Taylor's LBV , the original Late Bottled Vintage , remains the benchmark in the category; the first choice of the knowledgeable Port drinker.
