Krohn Late Bottled Vintage LBV Port 2017

Krohn Late Bottled Vintage LBV Port is an impressive bottle of Port. Deep ruby colour with spicy black fruit aromas, and flavours of vibrant plum and blackberry. All layered with more spice, fresh acidity and firm tannins. A full and rich style of Port that is satisfying and warming, that just keeps going in your mouth. Christmas in a glass! Perfect with blue cheeses, a decent mature cheddar or a slab of dark chocolate.

Late Bottled Vintage Ports are an increasingly popular style, and this, unfiltered, wine from Krohn is no exception. LBVs are produced from just a single year's crop (but not every year), and with the vintage specified on the bottle, each LBV will express the particular characteristics of that vintage. Traditional Port grapes are sourced from Krohn's Quinta do Retiro Novo estate, and from long-standing relationships with neighbouring growers. After fermentation the wine is aged in barrel for 4-6 years before bottling. Krohn's LBV Ports are neither fined nor filtered and may thus throw a sediment. We recommend to decant them before serving.
