TAHBILK 2002 LBVP

Cork Closure - Drink Now to 2020/2025

I can longer call this a Late Bottled Vintage Port because the Portuguese winegrowers believe that the word "Port" is theirs and theirs alone to use, and we and other nations agreed to that as part of the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade (GATT).

Late Bottled Vintage means that the fortified spends longer in the barrel than a "normal" vintage P..., that would generally only have a few months in oak prior to being bottled.

This LBVP is produced from Estate Shiraz that is fortified with Brandy spirit before extended ageing in seasoned oak barrels prior to bottling.
It shows complex nutty, spicy aromas of dark berries & violets and a palate rich with harmonious flavours of chocolate, coffee & walnut finishing with a luscious lingering dried fruit sweetness.
