WWW.ILKKASIREN.COM - Today I'm tasting a LBV port a.k.a. Late Bottled Vintage from Quinta de la Rosa. Over shadowed by vintage port LBV is a category often disregarded as the "cheap filtered stuff" but never mind the bollocks. They're not even partially right. Yes, LBV's sometimes lack the intensity of v-ports and rarely outlast them...Duh! It's a different style so who gives a fudge?! There's room in this world for both of them and if you have an open mind you can make some great discoveries.
