Late Bottled Vintage - Tubo Special Edition - W. & J. Graham's 2017

The Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Special Edition by W. & J. Graham's is an exceptional port that exemplifies the richness and complexity for which the Graham's house is renowned. This wine is made exclusively from grapes harvested in a single exceptional vintage year, and is typically bottled between the fourth and sixth year after harvest. This practice ensures the retention of freshness and fruitiness with greater maturity gained during aging in wood.

The Special Edition is presented in an elegant tube that not only protects the wine from light but also makes it an ideal gift for wine enthusiasts or a prestigious addition to any wine cellar.

The color of the wine is a deep ruby red with violet hues that testify to its relative youth. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet with aromas of ripe black fruit such as plums and blackberries, perfectly integrated with notes of chocolate and delicate spices. Wine lovers will also note a slight hint of tobacco and cedar, adding complexity and depth to the aromatic profile.

On the palate, Graham’s LBV Special Edition reveals itself to be powerful and rich, with a well-balanced tannic structure that promises excellent aging potential. The flavor is persistent, with a return of the fruity and spicy notes appreciated on the nose, and ends with a long and harmonious finish.

Ideal to enjoy on its own or as an accompaniment to aged cheeses, dark chocolate, or complex desserts, this Late Bottled Vintage is a brilliant example of Graham's savoir-faire in producing ports of exceptional quality.
