Taylors LBV Port 5cl Miniature
£1.59Order Here Taylors LBV Port 5cl Miniature
£1.59Taylors 2007 Late Bottle Vintage (LBV) was first feared it would never come to pass. Due to the winter preceding the 2006 harvest being extremely cold and dry, leaving the reserves for water severely depleted after an already dry and hot 2006. This in turn, meant that the growing season started later than usual, mainly down to the cold weather and shortage of water. The grapes produced in the whole of the growing season were marked by lower vigor and small berry size, but it also meant that if the harvest was complete, the grapes could be more flavoursome than usual. Although the rainfall was short and limited, in the heat and drought like conditions, the ripening process continued as normal, although at a slower pace than usual. Fortunately, the dry summer conditions were relieved by steady rainfall, giving the vines the critical relief that they needed, enabling them to complete the ripening process and deliver a perfectly ripe and well balanced crop with huge potential. The colour of the Taylors 2006 LBV is a deep ruby colour. The nose is elegant and combines fresh and intense blackcurrant and cherry aromas with subtle notes of liquorice and spice. On the palate the rich and concentrated black fruit flavour is supported by firm well-integrated tannin. True to the hallmark of Taylor’s style, the wine shows great balance and finesse.

Taylors 40yo Tawny Port 75cl
£94.79Order Here Taylors 40yo Tawny Port 75cl
£94.79Taylor’s is one of the few remaining houses that still make a 40 year old port. After each vintage, a reserve of very concentrated and powerful red ports are laid to one side to age in oak casks. Those that have reached their peak after forty years are then blended together for balance and finesse and to ensure consistency of quality and style. The Grapes used for the 40 year old are grown on Taylor’s own properties and consist of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Cao & Tinta Amarela. Only very small quantities of this wine are made each year and after decades of evaporating and ageing in wood, the wine is concentrated to almost an essence. This produces intense and complex nutty, spicy aromas with a dense and concentrated palate, full of rich mellow flavour. This is a sublime port of very great age which still has the old olive-gold hue of its many years in casks. Decades of evaporation have concentrated this astonishing wine to an exceptional density, with a powerful aroma of honey dried fruit and spice. Impressions of nutmeg, roasted coffee and an intense nuttiness converge both in the bouquet and on the palate. The ports rich, intense, voluptuous, almost viscous texture culminates in a finish of incredible length.

Taylors LBV 2010 Port 75cl Gift Box
£13.49Order Here Taylors LBV 2010 Port 75cl Gift Box
£13.49Taylor’s Late Bottled vintage 2010, LBV, is the most popular premium port style in both England and Canada, representing one in five purchases of port in the UK and over a quarter of the all port enjoyed by Canadians. Late Bottle Vintages represent a selection of the very fine full bodied red ports from a single year. They are bottled late, remaining in wood between four and six years. During the ageing process, the port settles down and matures, making it ready to drink when bottled, unlike vintage ports that age in the bottle. It does not need to be decanted and can be served by the glass for several weeks after the cork is drawn. Late Bottle Vintage ports were developed as a high quality but more affordable and immediately drinkable alternative to vintage ports. It is said that LBV ports were first created in 1970 by Taylor’s current Chairman, Alistair Robertson. This is why although many other port houses make LBV’s, Taylor’s remains the benchmark in the category and the first choice for knowledgeable port drinkers. On the nose, Taylor’s Late Bottle Vintage 2010 has powerful dark cherry and black fruit aromas. The floral and herbal notes that come through on the nose add lovely nuances to the bouquet. The palate shows great intense fruit flavours and fantastic depth and complexity.
