Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage Port 1999


Taylor's Ports represent a Three hundred year old tradition that began with the foundation of Taylor Fladgate & Yeatman in 1692. Three centuries of independent family ownership and experience in producing the finest Ports of all styles ensure that Taylor's Ports continue to be made to the highest standards, combining the best of tradition and innovation. Late Bottled vintage was developed as an alternative to Vintage Port for more informal occasions. Produced from wines from a single harvest., it is a wine with the rich fruity character of a classic Vintage. However the longer time spent in cask means that it is ready to drink when bottled and needs no decanting. It will remain in good conditions for two or three weeks after the bottle is opened.


Alcohol Percentage : 20% Vol.
Bottle Size : 75cl
Price : 6.49 GBP (on offer)
Where to buy : Morrisson's
Personal Opinion : In this range you will not get much better than this. I bought this bottle when it was on offer. Now I go to Morrisson's very often and look at the LBV Ports to see if any of them are on offer. I wouldn't pay the full price which ranges between 10 and 15 pound, but when I see a bargain, I will buy more than one bottle at a time.
Personal points : 9.5/10
