Reviewed January 2023This is more of a traditional LBV, aged for four years in cask and not filtered before bottling, so it gives you the sensation of vintage Port. It’s full and tannic with medium sweetness, giving you fruit and chewiness. (AS)

Wine Advocate
The 2018 Late Bottled Vintage Port (LBV) is an unfiltered field blend from old vines aged for 36 months in all stainless steel this year. It comes in with 90 grams of residual sugar and a long cork. It was bottled in April 2022. Not quite the powerhouse, perhaps, that the 2017 was, this is still delightful because it is pure, fresh and friendly. The fruit is aromatic and full of flavor, the modest sugar not getting in the way much. This is a pleasure to drink and able to age a bit too. I'd drink it relatively young, though. I love that fruit now. There may be complexity to come if you wait. (MS)

A smoothly textured wine, ready to drink. Its tannins are subservient to the dried black fruits and balance of acidity and sweetness. This is a immediate Port, ready to drink now. (RV)
