Explore the rich and complex world of Taylor’s Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port, a favourite among premium Port styles, representing one in five Port purchases. LBV Port is renowned for its full-bodied character and immediate drinkability, setting it apart from Vintage Port.

While both Vintage Port and LBV are crafted from select red Ports of a single year, they differ significantly in their maturation process. Vintage Port is aged in wood for just around twenty months before being bottled to continue ageing. In contrast, Late Bottled Vintage Port is kept in wood for an extended period of four to six years. This extended wood ageing allows LBV to mature and settle, making it ready to drink upon bottling, without the need for decanting. It can be enjoyed by the glass for several weeks after opening.

First introduced in 1970 by Taylor’s Chairman Alistair Robertson with the 1965 vintage, Taylor’s LBV was designed as a high-quality, more affordable alternative to Vintage Port, perfect for everyday occasions. Although many producers now offer LBV, Taylor’s remains the benchmark for this style, celebrated for its exceptional quality and consistency.

Tasting Notes: This LBV Port presents a deep ruby colour. The elegant and stylish nose offers fresh, intense aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, complemented by subtle notes of liquorice and spice. On the palate, rich, concentrated black fruit flavours are supported by firm yet well-integrated tannins, showcasing the classic Taylor’s balance and finesse.

Serving Suggestions: Taylor’s LBV is ready to enjoy upon opening. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature and savour its complexity over several weeks.
