Good Port, No Storm

Warre’s 1995 LBV
24.99
Shane’s Notes

This Late Bottled Vintage Port was aged 4 years in oak and then four years in the bottle prior to being released. It is also unfined and unfiltered. The aroma is sweet and earthy. The wine is deep red, slightly rich and medium-bodied. The palate is dominated by a chocolate covered cherry flavor with less sweetness that I was expecting. The tannins are nicely integrated and this LBV could easily age for a few more years. As with most LBV’s, this is a pale imitation of a vintage port but it is definitely the best LBV we have tasted. My only complaint is that I wish it had been sweeter.
