Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Dates, dried plums and figs on the nose and palate. There's a touch of herbs and earthiness that gives this LBV port a unique and refreshing profile. Medium-full bodied, with decent depth of flavour. Tasted April 2016. 88 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Ports are vintage-dated, with a year on the label. However, they are made in a style to consumer much earlier than Vintage Ports, and allow us a taste of the harvest earlier than usual, but deliciously so. This lovely LBV features mixed spices, figs and plum preserves. Full-bodied with a long finish. - Community Wine Review
