Late Bottled Vintage, or 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 all Port enjoyed by Canadians.
Vintage Port and LBV both present a selection of very fine full bodied red ports from a single year. The fundamental difference between the two styles lies in the way each is matured. Vintage Port is kept in wood for only twenty months or so before being transferred to the bottle where it will continue to age.
Late Bottled Vintage, as the name suggests, is bottled later, remaining in wood between four and six years. During this relatively long period of wood ageing, an LBV matures and settles down - it is ready to drink when bottled, does not need to be decanted and can be served by the glass for several weeks after the cork is drawn.
LBV was developed as a high quality but more affordable and immediately drinkable alternative to Vintage port to be enjoyed by the glass on everyday occasions. It was originally created in 1970 by Taylor’s current Chairman, Alistair Robertson.
Although many other houses now offer this wonderful style of wine, Taylor’s LBV – the original Late Bottled Vintage – remains the benchmark in the category; the first choice of the knowledgeable Port drinker.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Intense purple ruby colour.
Nose: Pungent aromatic nose with heaps of black woodland fruit, dark cherry and plum. Lovely clean, crisp freshness to the bouquet.
Palate: Rounded, smooth and perfectly balanced. Flavours of redcurrant, raspberry and blueberry in abundance, with a delicious hint of black liquorice, wonderful purity of fruit. In true Taylor style, the wine is very well structured with big firm tannins that hold the wine nicely together.
Finish: Wonderfully long.
Storage
Port will continue to age in the bottle and will improve in flavour if kept in good conditions.
The ideal storage conditions are up to 16º Celsius and most importantly at a constant temperature.
The bottle should rest on its side, thus keeping the cork moist and therefore an effective seal.

This item includes our bespoke design and engraving service. Every item is individually hand engraved using traditional sandblasting techniques.
On your order please add details of what you would like engraved, it can be images, words or a combination of both.
On each bottle unless otherwise stated the engraving area is the front face of the bottle, we will arrange and size your design to best fit.
Text
For wording we will as standard centre align and size the text based on the design and the amount to be engraved.
If you want a specific font let us know or we can chose one to fit.
As the old saying goes "less is more", shorter lines look better as the font can be larger.
Images
We have a large library of images to cover most occasions so if you have something in mind just describe it and we can provide options.
If you are looking for a specific logo or crest you can upload a file such as a word document, ai file or pdf and if we don't have it we will professionally convert it to engrave at no extra charge.
The limits to this are the image had to be definable into black and white so unfortunately we cannot convert photos and some other designs.
If there are any issues with an uploaded design we will contact you by email about an alternative.
Labelling
By law we have to maintain certain details about the bottle from the label such as the brand name, producer details as well as volume and alcohol content. This is engraved on the back of the bottle as a special version of the label.
Please note due to licencing we cannot engrave Army/MOD crests on bottles
Engraving Process
After ordering we will take your details and design your engraving templates, then email them to you for approval.
On the design the areas in black will be engraved so appear silver white on the engraved item.
It is very important that you check these designs carefully for any errors because the order cannot be changed or cancelled once engraved.
Once approved the design template is and printed then transferred to a special mask which can be engraved through.
The mask is applied to the engraving area and high pressure sand is used to cut the glass.
In the final stage a special paint is infilled into the engraving to enhance the finish.
