To list the top 5 out-of-fashion wines, I think Port definitely would be one of them.
There are many different styles of port such as Tawny Port, Aged Tawny Port, Ruby Port, Colheita and Single-Quinta Vintage. Among all the port, Vintage Port is the most expensive and the best quality one. Normally, only about three vintages will be declared in a decade. For example, in the most recent ten years, Buy Cytotec Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed only 2000, 2003 and 2007 are declared vintages. And the production of vintage port is only about 1% of total port production. For this reason, even though Port is no longer popular, Vintage Port is never cheap. Most would be selling Buy Viagra Soft Tabs Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed at least HK$1000. In addition, Vintage Port is expected to have long bottle ageing. If you buy a newly released vintage, you probably have to wait for 20 years until the wine reaches it peak.
A cheaper alternative to Vintage Port is Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port. There are mainly two kinds of LBV. The first one is the wine is filtered before bottling so there is no sediment in bottle. This is definitely more convenient but usually lacking the intensity and complexity of unfiltered port. The second one is unfiltered LBV port. Even though you have to decant them but I think this is worthwhile as it usually offered better quality wine.
The bottle I’m having today is Warre’s LBV 2000 Bottled Matured. This wine belongs to the second category and is unfiltered. Grapes are coming from vintage 2000 which is a declared vintage year in Port. While most vintage port will have two years of barrel ageing, this LBV has four years of barrel ageing and is bottled in 2004. So, this wine has also undergone six years of bottle ageing. There is no need to wait and the wine is ready for your enjoyment. Having someone to cellar the wine for you for Buy eriacta online ten years, yet just charging HK$238 is really a good deal.
Frankly, can this wine compared to Vintage Port? Still not yet as it didn’t have the complexity and concentration of a good vintage port. Yet, I think it is really not far behind. It still quite faithfully shows what a typical vintage port will have. Full bodied, intense, powerful, bold, high complexity and a long finish. For less than a quarter of price of a vintage port, this is really a good deal.
If you haven’t tried Vintage Port before, you can consider to try this bottle and see if you like Port or not!
