"Deep-colored, dark red center with just a hint of age showing through on the dark red rim. The backbone provided by the large Touriga Nacional component is evident in the fragrant, floral nose of roses and violets. The palate is generous and sumptuous with black fruit and licorice flavors, balanced by schist tannins and the fresh acidity typical of Warre’s bottle-matured wines, giving them hallmark balance and elegance, as well as structure. This wine may be broached now, although it will repay keeping for up to a further decade" —winemaker

"Sharing the same provenance as our legendary Vintage Ports, our 2018 LBV is made using grapes from our best-performing plots at Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira. Aged in oak vats for up to six years before being bottled, the 2018 has exuberant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and a touch of mint." —winemaker

"It has the flavour of intense dried fruit with toasted notes and a complex nutty smell with slight hints of ripe fruit aromas." —winemaker
