A more heady, intense effort, the 2016 Late Bottled Vintage Port offers up a deep ruby/purple hue to go with classic Port. Notes of candied plums, cigar box, incense, orange liqueur, and exotic spices on the nose. These carry to a medium to full-bodied Port with solid underlying structure and solid length on the finish. While there’s tons to love here, the alcohol slightly overwhelms this more mid-weight effort and a touch more density and concentration would go a long way toward balancing this beauty out, but this is nitpicking. This is a spicy, complex, elegant LBV to drink over the coming decade.
