Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage Port is crafted by one of the most respected names in Port wine. This beautifully matured, full-bodied expression of a single vintage is aged to perfection and ready to enjoy now. Presented in Taylor's signature 75cl bottle and showcased in a red and gold gift box, this LBV is the ultimate blend of tradition, structure, and indulgence.
Unlike standard vintage port, Taylor’s LBV is aged in oak casks for up to six years before bottling, giving it depth, smoothness, and immediate approachability, while still showcasing the intensity of a declared vintage.

Finish
Long, warming, and satisfying, with a persistent echo of dark fruit and exotic spice.
