GRAHAM'S LATE BOTTLE VINTAGE Port 2016

Tasting Notes | Graham’s 2015 LBV has a deep red-black colour. The wine brims with bright aromas of blackberries and liquorice, with background notes of rock rose and mint that are typical of the Touriga Franca, a variety that excelled in 2015. On the palate the wine is full and compact with a plummy, succulent texture that is balanced by the lively freshness and spice element provided by the Sousão. 

Late Bottled Vintages, as the term implies, are bottled later than classic Vintage Ports (the latter after two years).

Serving suggestions: Pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate desserts as well as semi-cured and cured cheeses like Cheddar and Manchego. No need to decant. Once open, the wine will remain fresh for up to six weeks.
