2000 Taylor's LBV Port

I am a newcomer to port. It is a fascinating subject. I have indulged on vintage port but I have found nothing to excel Taylor's LBV 2000. This wine has a lingering noble taste. There is a taste of chocalate and plum. There is also a hint of intense sweetness which appears to get better as time passes. The colour is an appealing inky black. This wine must be allowed to breathe. IMHO it is at it best when the bottle has been open for 24 hours at least. I prefer this inexpensive wine to any vintage port. I have tried Taylor's LBV 1999 but the 200 is completely different.

Would be interested to hear views.

Jos,

Welcome to FTLOP

We held a Virtual Tasting of this wine during the month of May. You can read everyone's thoughts on this thread:

Jos,

Welcome! The 2000 LBV you speak of is a great value on a bottle. As Derek said, there was a Virtual Tasting of this and IIRC the overall impression by most was very positive. Please feel free to post your tasting note in that thread.

In due time you will find things that far exceed the 2000 LBV experience you had, trust me

Try the Fladgate 1996. Also the Dow 2000.
