Taylor Fladgate LBV 2019 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Taylor Fladgate's 2019 Late Bottled Vintage Port comes from Portugal's Douro region. LBV Port, by definition, spends four to six years in barrel before bottling, developing depth and approachability without the intensity of a vintage-dated release. This is made from the house's signature Port blend.
The wine shows complexity across a dark fruit spectrum, with black currants and ripe black fruits layered alongside crushed violets, coffee liqueur, and mineral notes of wet stone and earth. It's full-bodied and concentrated, but restrained in its sweetness, with firm tannins that carry walnut character and give the wine real structure. The palate is lively, the finish long and mineral-driven. This reads as a sophisticated Port that balances power with finesse, drinking well now but capable of holding if you prefer to cellur it.

Expert Reviews
This is complex and powerful, offering notes of ripe but vivid black and blue fruit, crushed violets, coffee liqueur, wet stones and earth. Full-bodied and concentrated with firm tannins and walnuty character. Its not overly sweet and very lively on the palate, showing delicious fruit within the darker spectrum. Long and mineral. Drink now or hold.
The Port is stylish, with an aroma of black currants, ripe black fruits and a balance that veers to dryness. The black fruit and raisin fruits are cut with tannins to give the wine structure. This LBV brand is one of the originals, launched in 1970. Drink now.
