Note di degustazione
Term launched by them in 1970. Aged five to six years. Cold stabilised so ready to drink from bottle any time for a month after opening. RS 94 g/l. A hint of raisins. Big and bold but pretty simple. Sweet and chewy. (JR)

The 2011 Late Bottled Vintage Port (bottled in October 2015) is a field blend aged for 58 months. It comes with a bar top cork and 106 grams per liter of residual sugar. Inky black, this highly extracted Port has sensual texture and an unctuous finish laced with delicious, primary fruit flavor. It's a rather sexy LBV this year, big, dense and mouth-coating. It has a fair bit of power, too. For an LBV to drink now, this is simply beautiful. It is not necessarily expected to go anywhere--it's made for drinking now--but it can certainly hold if you choose to do so, barring cork failures.
