Taylors Late Bottled Vintage Port 2017 exemplifies the pinnacle of Port winemaking, crafted by Taylor Fladgate, one of the world's most esteemed producers. Introduced in 1970, the Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) category was created to offer a high-quality, ready-to-drink alternative to traditional vintage Ports without sacrificing complexity or depth.

This 2017 LBV is a masterful blend from Taylor's renowned estates, including Quinta de Vargellas, Quinta de Terra Feita, and Quinta do Junco. Each harvest, expert tasters select the finest wines from these properties, aging them for two winters in oak vats to develop remarkable structure and aromatic intensity. The 2017 vintage stands out for its powerful, concentrated fruit balanced by elegance and complexity—traits that reflect the unique terroir of the Douro Valley, a region celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest Ports.

With a 92-point rating from Decanter, this Late Bottled Vintage Port offers rich flavors of dark berries, plum, and subtle spice, supported by robust tannins and a velvety finish. It is crafted to be enjoyed now or cellared for further maturation, revealing layers of complexity and harmony over time.
