    It develops, of course, but this traditional and textured LBV, has depth, grip, a backbone and coats the palate. It should hold a lot longer and may not be quite at peak, but this is a good time for it, even with the initial tightness.

    It is mostly the Tourigas--Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca--unfiltered and with a long cork. Not particularly sweet. About $25 in newer vintages. LBVs are great values.

    Into the 40sF overnight. The universe is trying to tell me something. I'm listening carefully. It's Port time! That's what I'M hearing. If you're not hearing it, I'd suggest hearing aids. 😈😀

    You would think a LBV nearing age 15 would be easy, but this is unfiltered, from a big vintage (2011) and good producer. It opens tight, precise and focused. It's pretty fine today, vibrant and showing some power.
