Product Notes

Cockburn's LBV wine is an exquisite and flavourful drink originating from Portugal's warm vineyards. It's a Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port, boasting a luxurious, full-bodied taste. This robust wine drips with rich notes of ripe, red fruit and elegant undertones of spicy blackberries. Its alluring aroma is centred around lovely hints of vanilla and violets. The velvety texture, superb richness, and well-integrated, smooth tannins contribute to an exceptional finish. This indulgence pairs beautifully with blue cheeses or delectable dark chocolate. Favourably, the LBV style does not require decanting, bringing the splendour of vintage port at a moment's notice.

Tasting Notes

Intense crimson centre with a bright, garnet rim. The sizeable contribution made by Touriga Nacional in this vintage is mirrored in the floral aromas which are typical of this variety. Red fruits, ranging from raspberry and strawberry to red cherry are evident on the palate, a signature feature of the Canais vineyard, which provided an important component for this LBV. The Touriga Franca and Sousão from both Canais and Vale Coelho buttress the structure and underpin the balance of this excellent 2014 Cockburn’s Late Bottled Vintage Port
