The original Late Bottled Vintage and still the benchmark by which all others are measured. Launched in 1970 by Taylor’s chairman Alistair Robertson, this LBV is matured in wood for four to six years before bottling ready to pour the moment it is opened, no decanting required. Fresh blackcurrant and cherry on the nose with subtle liquorice and spice, leading to a rich, concentrated black fruit palate supported by firm, well-structured tannins. A generous 1 litre of one of England’s most trusted premium port styles. Douro, Portugal. 1L.
