The 2018 LBV is a refined port, combining the aromas of raspberries, black plums and tobacco with a firm structure and density in a poetic balance between alcohol, sugar content and soft tannin. Silky texture. It is an LBV with a long, precise and tense finish. As an unfiltered port wine, it retains its ability to evolve positively in the bottle. A production of 7,066 bottles
