Real Oporto LBV 2017
Douro 
Old Vines Field Blend & Touriga Nacional 
20% abv 
 
 
LBV’s (on the contrary to Vintage Ports) are bottled between the fourth & sixth year of ageing. This longer ageing period ensures a smoother & rounder palate, making this wine enjoyable for immediate consume. The Royal Oporto LBV is an example of the classic Real Companhia Velha style. The Old Vines of Quinta das Carvalhas contribute with power & structure, while Quinta de Cidrô’s Touriga Nacional unveils the elegant side of this blend.
 
Tasting Notes
A deep & dark coloured LBV with notes of red fruit & raisins complexed with berries & spice. A very unique layer of smoky leathery made me particularly like this port . Very fine on the palate, with firm & round tannins showing a very solid structure, & finishing off elegantly with great fruit character.
Food Match 
An ideal partner for Blue Cheese or milk/dark chocolate desserts & fatty cheeses (Blue) as well as with some game pates.
Should be decanted before serving.
