Late bottled vintage (LBV) is a great-value alternative to full vintage Port, and perfect to match hard cheese or a chocolate dessert. Made by the famous British Port house Symington Family Estates, this has been aged for six years following the vintage in the Symington cellars, and is now drinking beautifully. Bags of sweet blackberry and currant fruit, rich and structured yet fresh. Long and lingering spicy finish. A lovely Christmas treat that won't bust your budget.
