Ferreira Late Bottled Vintage Port 2015
The Ferreira Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is a high quality Porto Wine, which combines the unique characteristics of the year in which it was produced with the comfort of being able to enjoy it immediately or after some ageing in the bottle. LBV Ports are single harvest wines, bottled 4 to 6 years after the vintage. A profound, almost opaque, violet colour the Ferreira LBV has an intense and complex aroma with fresh shrubby notes, spicy hints of black pepper and ginger, black fruits and a touch of cocoa courtesy of a good maturation. On the palate, this port wine has excellent volume, firm tannins of great quality, a well-integrated acidity, notes of black fruit and resinous wood. It has a long and complex finish.
