The 2015 Barros Late Bottled Vintage Port is a classic LBV sourced from one exceptional vintage. This port ages longer in barrel than a traditional vintage port, making it more accessible earlier but still retaining its complexity and structure.
A Late Bottled Vintage is made from grapes from a single harvest year but is aged in casks longer than a classic Vintage Port. As a result, an LBV is generally more approachable upon opening. The year 2015 indicates the origin of the harvest, while the longer barrel aging helps shape the character of this style. This difference makes it interesting to taste an LBV alongside a classic Vintage Port.
In the glass, this port shows a deep ruby color. The nose is expressive with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cocoa and subtle spicy notes. In the mouth rich and supple, with soft tannins and a long, harmonious finish.
Serve at 16-18°C. Ideal with chocolate desserts, blue cheese or as a sophisticated end to a dinner party.
The 2015 vintage in the Douro produced grapes with ripe fruit and a distinct structure. In this LBV, that vintage character is expressed differently than in a young, bottled Vintage Port. When tasting both styles side by side, one discovers how time in the barrel influences the fruit and tannins.
