This Port is matured in bottle for at least another 4 years.
This prolonged bottle ageing is crucial to the development of the superb “nose” and flavour which lend this Port a style and complexity very much akin to that of Vintage Port. Warre’s LBV is generally acknowledged to be the finest of its type.
Warre’s Bottled-Matured LBV’s have amassed an unparalleled 6 gold medals at the International Wine Challenge, the world’s biggest and most prestigious wine competition. No other producer comes remotely close to this remarkable achievement. In 2008 Warre’s LBV 2000 won the Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards; in 2007 Warre’s LBV 1999 won the Gold Medal at the International Wine Challenge and at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
