Taylors LBV Port
A very fine red berry and stone fruit character, wonderfully fresh and vibrant. Raspberry, cherry and red plum, subtly infused with richer notes of blackcurrant and liquorice, dominate the nose. Cedary, minty notes and a discreet redolence of violets give the wine a seductive scented dimension and great freshness.

About: Founded in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles. Taylor’s were pioneers of the LBV category, developed to satisfy the demand for a high quality ready-to-drink alternative to Vintage Port for everyday consumption. Unlike Vintage Port, which is bottled after only two years in wood and ages in bottle, LBV is bottled after four to six years and is ready to drink when bottled.
