Late Bottled Vintage Port Silver Medal- International Wine Challenge 2017
Description and Reviews:
A rare chance to purchase an aged Unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage Port with over 30 years of maturation in cask and bottle. These have been stored in the winemakers cellars until we imported them last year. Unfiltered LBVs will throw a 'crust' (aka: sediment) just like a Vintage Port and so needs to be decanted. This Port wine has a mature character with, sweet raisin and spice with ripe black fruits, fig, prune, damson and cinnamon notes. Elegant with great balance, fully mature, gentle and inviting. savour it on its own or with a platter of cheeses.
Maynard's history dates back to 1652 when Walter Maynard, the illustrious ancestor of the Van Zeller family, became one of the first British merchants to ship Port from Oporto
Unfiltered LBV Ports, if stored in a cool place (store approximately 8°C to 10°C) after the bottle has been opened, can provide enjoyment for two sometimes three weeks. For filtered LBV Ports, these typically can last up to 10 to 12 days after being open, without any obvious deterioration of quality.
