  This LBV has many of the structural hallmarks of a fine Vintage. The extra wood aging has smoothed the tannins to make a perfumed, ripe wine. Dried fruits mingle with red fruits and acidity to give a rich wine that is ready to drink.

  This wine is bright, fruity and packed with berries and juicy black cherries. The acidity gives a fresh character that balances the sweetly ripe fruits. Ready to drink, this is a deliciously fruity wine.

  This is a style of Late Bottled Vintage that should be aged. It has great red and black fruits at this stage but will develop a more structured, dense and firm character as it matures. Give this well-made, juicy wine with its sweet black fruits at least until 2017.

  Bottled after five years, this is an LBV that could well age. It is a ripe wine, bringing out a dry tang of dark raisins and black figs. Attractive perfumes go with the richness of the texture. Tannins add to the aging potential.

  A full-bodied wine, showing the richness and super-ripe grapes of 2003. It is soft, with dusty tannins showing through the ripe damsons and almost jammy character. It's all well in balance.

  An elegant Port, its fruit and firm tannins blending effortlessly with blackberry jelly and spice flavors. It is halfway between a sweet and dry style, the sweetness coming from prunes, the dryness from firm tannins. This could probably age a few years in the bottle.
