Our 2016 LBV Violeta port was matured in barrique casks for 6 years prior to bottling. Over those six years, the tannins have softened, the fruit profile has become less primary and more complex; still showcasing a solid fruit profile, but accentuated by aged notes of spice, cacao, and toasted nuts. This being our very first bottling of a LBV port, we wanted to make sure it was truly a special wine and we hope you agree. We advise you to buy several bottles, some for opening now, and some for laying down an additional 5 – 10 years.
