LBV ruby port drinking well. LBV is made to drink earlier unlike regular vintage port. Taylor's invented the process and still is one of the best. #oporto #portugal #douro #taylorfladgateyeatman

Monday night #Port? Why Not! $20 and this will last a few weeks in the fridge. From the original innovator, #Taylors invented the LBV process. #drinkyourdesert

Kobrand. To me, LBV is a worthwhile trade up from the basic Ruby Reserve. Delicious, but does seem to show heat more so than the 05. 07 is claimed to be an all-time great vintage in Oporto, but only time will tell.
