Royal Oporto Late Bottled Vintage 2017

Forget the dusty decanter and stuffy after-dinner rituals, Royal Oporto Late Bottled Vintage 2017 is a port for the here and now. Aged in cask and bottled unfiltered, this Late Bottled Vintage brings vintage-level intensity with zero pretension.

Crafted from hand-harvested grapes grown on the steep, sun-soaked slopes of the Douro Valley, this 2017 LBV shows off the bold character of a standout vintage. Expect rich layers of black cherry, plum and blackberry jam, laced with dark chocolate, cinnamon, and a touch of liquorice.

Silky-smooth yet full-bodied, it’s ready to enjoy now but still has the guts to age gracefully. Pair it with blue cheese, dark chocolate, cigars, or just a stormy evening and a good book.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Ripe black fruits, fig compote, baking spices, and a touch of cocoa.

• Palate: Bold and plush with bramble fruit, dark cherry, and warming spice.

• Finish: Long, velvety and just the right amount of grip.
