Niepoort LBV 2009 Port - The best Late Bottled Vintage port currently on the market

December 02, 2014

The best Late Bottled Vintage port currently on the market, according to Decanter magazine, and one that Butlers has in stock and enjoys regularly. A lovely Christmas present don't you think?

Niepoort’s Late Bottled Vintage 2009 was given a wonderful endorsement in Decanter magazine this month. They reinforced the above statement with a score of 95/100 (18.5/20) points.

Here’s what they had to say about it:

“Ultra-traditional foot-trodden LBV from a super-ripe year: fresh cherry and raspberry fruit, wonderful finesse, spicy tannins rising in the mouth yielding to fresh berry fruit on the finish. Bottled with a driven cork. Drink now or keep 10 to 15 years.”
