2012 Offley LBV Port
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2018 8:52 pm
Bottled in 2016. While it doesn't state, it uses a driven cork so I assume it's unfiltered. Starts off with a moderately sweet red currant profile that quickly transitions into a more off-dry with a tannic backbone. Mixed into that is dark chocolate, eucalyptus, old oak, and licorice. Then on to a seamless transition to the moderately long finish. This is a very nice LBV and should age well over the next 12-18 years and will most likely improve a bit as time goes on. I've never had this and stumbled across it at a local wine store and I'm glad I did. A remarkable value at $24.
