Late-Bottled-Vintage<br />
NIEPOORT L.B.V. 2007 Bottle<br />
Fortified Wine<br />
Port<br />
£14.95<br />
Late Bottled Vintage port is from a single year. The wine ages 4-6 years in old oak casks<br />
(opposed to Vintage that ages 2-3). LBV fills the gap between the rubies and the vintage ports<br />
since a Ruby Port should be drunk quite young and a great Vintage Port may need 15 to 20<br />
years to really open up and show its splendour. Winemaker Dirk Niepoort calls this the "Little<br />
Brother" of his Vintage Port, as the origins of the grapes and vinification methods are<br />
identical. Deep red colour with a very vivacious, lively aroma of fresh dark plums, cherries and<br />
a hint of chocolate along with a silky aroma giving the wine great finesse. Fabulous extract on<br />
the palate with a tight grainy texture intertwined with fresh dark fruits and a mellow spirity<br />
finish. The wine can be enjoyed now, and will become more complex with further cellaring<br />
until 2020. To fully benefit from its qualities we recommend it be decanted before serving.<br />
Serve with soft cheeses, mild blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts or a pepper steak!<br />
POCAS L.B.V. 2005/06 Bottle<br />
£13.95<br />
Manuel Domingues Pocas Junior founded this highly respected Portuguese Port house in 1918.<br />
The company was intitially a producer of brandy used in the production of Port wine, however<br />
it progressed to produce its own Ports. It wasn't until 1960 that the first vintage was<br />
produced with the family's trademark. The house still remains in the hands of the founding<br />
family, managed today by Manuel Joaquim Pocas Pintao, and specializing in Colheitas - vintage<br />
tawny Ports. This is a soft endearing wine with an upfront fruitiness offering ripe, berry cassis<br />
over an impressive structure.<br />
QUINTA DE LA ROSA L.B.V. 2004/06* Bottle<br />
£18.95<br />
LBV port is bottled two to four years after Vintage Port to provide a top flight port which<br />
may be drunk earlier. Quinta de la Rosa's 1998 LBV, bottled in autumn 2002, is deep coloured<br />
and well structured with hints of berry fruits. It is a 'traditional' LBV which has been bottled<br />
straight from the tonel without filtering or fining. It may throw a sediment and if so can be<br />
decanted.<br />
QUINTA DO INFANTADO Late Bottled Vintage L.B.V.<br />
£13.95<br />
2004/07** Bottle<br />
Quinta do Infantado has been a leader in estate-bottled Ports since 1979. The Roseira family is<br />
very careful when declaring a vintage year and will not do so if there is the least doubt about<br />
the concentration and quality of the vintage. The quality of a Port house's LBV is often the<br />
best indicator to the quality of the wines overall and a true expression of the terrior. It was<br />
estate bottled in 2008 into 191 magnums, 31,200 bottles and 1950 halves. This wine spent four<br />
years in cask prior to being bottled to soften the tannins and add complexity. It was then<br />
bottled unfiltered to retain the deep and ripe flavours and therefore needs decanting before<br />
drinking. However, the effort is truly worth it!<br />
Perfect with classic Roquefort and Stilton cheeses.<br />

NIEPOORT 'Drink Me' Ruby Dum Bottle<br />
£11.95<br />
Niepoort is a family company now in its fifth generation and as a port house, Niepoort enjoy<br />
an unparalleled reputation for tradition even though it is one of the smaller producers in the<br />

without the 'shackles' of Port's traditions. What Dirk feels are Ports that are enjoyable to<br />
drink as wines and elegant in style. Ruby and Tawny dee both begin as the same port and<br />
then they are split in half. Ruby Dum is youthful with a headstrong character, dominated by<br />
red cherries and plums with great freshness from ageing in large wooden vats in our cool<br />
cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.<br />

Tawny<br />
NIEPOORT Tawny '30 Year Old' Bottle<br />
£109.95<br />
Tawnies with an age indication such as "30 years" are blended from different wines averaging<br />
30 years. The prolonged ageing in small wooden casks confers the characteristic Tawny<br />
colour. The principle features of an aged tawny are the complexity of aromas, the freshness<br />
and a persistent<br />
bouquet and refinement. After dinner, 30 years old tawny is a good match with cheeses and<br />
chocolate based desserts.<br />
For the true lovers it can match perfectly with a good cigar or by itself as the company for the<br />
night. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled, and drink it slowly, because it has a lot to<br />
discover. Tasting Notes: Deep brown colour with a brown rim and a touch of green - very<br />
characteristic in old tawny ports. On the nose a wine from another era, but very much alive<br />
with a fabulous concentration of coffee and liqueur which comes through on the palate with<br />
great spirity finish.<br />
