Maynard's Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is a premium port wine that bridges the gap between the intensity of vintage port and the accessibility of ruby ​​port. LBV is made from grapes from a single exceptional vintage and matured for several years in oak barrels, giving it a rich and layered flavour.

Flavor profile

• Colour : Deep dark red with purple highlights, which emphasises the concentration and power of the wine.
• Aroma : Intense and complex aromas of ripe black cherries, blackberries, plums, along with subtle hints of chocolate, tobacco and spices.
• Taste : Full and powerful, with a beautiful structure and silky tannins. Flavours of dark fruit are combined with a hint of cocoa, pepper and a light touch of wood. The finish is long and balanced, with a pleasant freshness.

Serving tips

• Pairings : Perfect with dark chocolate, red fruit desserts or cheeses such as stilton and other blue cheeses. Also delicious as a digestive after an extensive dinner.
• Serving temperature : Serve slightly chilled around 16-18°C.
• Decanting : Although LBV does not generally require decanting, older bottles may require decanting to remove sediment.

General impression

Maynard's LBV Port is an impressive and approachable wine with an excellent balance of fruitiness and complexity. It is an excellent choice for special occasions or simply to enjoy on a quiet evening.
