Port to finish the meal
Calem L.B.V 2000
Late bottled vintages are produced from outstanding harvests. As LBV’s spend longer in casks (4-6 years) than vintages, they do not require any further ageing in the bottle and are thus perfect for those who want to appreciate the complex characteristics of vintages, without having to wait for the port top age. Deep ruby in colour with rounded body and aromas of balckberries and pepper, ideal on their own, with string cheeses or dried fruits.
Taste guide:
