2021 Late Bottled Vintage Port, Invincible
Duoro, Portugal
The 2021 LBV from Invincible is everything you want from a young, vibrant Port, dark, juicy, structured and lavish without ever tipping into heaviness. It opens with deep aromas of black cherry, cassis and plum compote, lifted by notes of violet, dark chocolate, cracked pepper and warm Douro schist. On the palate it’s plush and powerful: inky black fruits wrapped in silky tannins, a ripple of spice and cocoa, and a freshness that keeps the richness bright rather than brooding. Long, velvety and deliciously intense, it finishes with a lingering echo of blueberry, liquorice and warm spice.
For when the night deserves something rich, indulgent and a little dramatic.
Pairs with stilton, dark chocolate desserts, Christmas pudding or simply the final chapter of a great book.
If this wine were a soundtrack, it’d be a slow, smoky jazz solo, smooth, expressive and unashamedly deep.
Invincible selects fruit from high-altitude Douro vineyards planted to traditional Port varieties, crafting a style that balances richness with freshness. Their LBV is aged longer in cask than a Vintage Port, offering both approachability and depth, while retaining the structure to improve in bottle. The 2021 vintage, marked by freshness and purity across the Douro, delivers exceptional clarity of fruit and fine, polished tannins. A modern, expressive LBV with all the charm of a young vintage release.
