Warre's Bottle Aged LBV 2010
Product information
£28.50
Description
Warre's were the first to produce a bottle-aged LBV.
This port was matured in wood during four years after which it was bottled without any fining or filtering. It was then aged in bottle for another six years in the Warre’s lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia.
This prolonged ageing, first in wood and then in bottle is key to the development of the sumptuous nose and flavours that lend this Port a style and complexity akin to that of Vintage Port.
Tasting Note:
Remarkably youthful, inky red-black colour. Bright, intense aromas of liquorice and blackberry with some traces of mint. Compact and concentrated black fruit flavours, coated with peppery tannins. A streak of acidity provides balance and taut muscularity.
The long aftertaste unlocks notes of black chocolate, black tea and hints of tobacco.
If you savour the character and taste of a vintage port but not the price, then this is the port for you.
