Description

Fonseca LBV 2019 is a Late Bottled Vintage Port from the Douro region. LBV represents an accessible entry point to vintage Port, wines aged in large wooden vats for four to six years before bottling unfined and unfiltered, offering character and structure without the complexity (or price) of a fully aged vintage declaration.

This wine shows a peppery spine running through plum and dark berry fruit, with notes of dark chocolate and cocoa that add warmth and depth to the finish. The unfined, unfiltered approach gives it a natural texture and presence on the palate. It's drinking well now and will age gracefully for years to come.

A limited-edition new listing at Majestic, just in time for the autumn and winter seasons. Late bottled vintage (LBV) is a great and affordable route into vintage Port, here made by leading Port house, Fonseca. Aged in large wooden vats and then bottled unfined and unfiltered, this offers a lovely peppery character, with plum and berry fruits, and dark chocolate and cocoa warmth.
