Graham's 2015 Late Bottled Vintage Port review - WineUncorked: Wine Reviews and Tips

Watch out for the 2012 version of this LBV port which is selling in Morrisons for £9 - this is not a review of that. The 2015 version gets better with opening, so much so that after a couple of days the initial over-cooked blackberry jam flavours mellow into intense blackberry and cherry chocolate. Sweet but intense with a liquorice ending. This is a wine that gets better the longer you wait.
