The 2009 Late Bottled Vintage Port was aged in old tonels (75%) and Pipas (25%). It was "slightly filtered" and bottled in April 2014 with a bar-top cork. It comes in at 100 grams per liter of residual sugar. This is a very nice '09, with ripe fruit and a bit of a pop on the finish. Make no mistake, though, this is about the flavor, even if it is nicely focused. It is a great LBV to drink young as it opens with that lush and luscious hit of bold flavor. It is showing nicely now, delivering its rich flavors to the palate. There is no rush to knock it back, but note that it is not the most concentrated or best structured LBV. It will show at its best when young and fresh, when you might think it is underrated. It should be available at a pretty nice price on the street, too. There were 1,500 cases produced.
