Late Bottled Vintage Ports Delaforce LBVs are bottled after maturing in wood for up to six years, offering an early softness and development. As these Ports are only made available in those years when the harvest has been very good, they constantly produce a mature port of vintage quality, and are ready for drinking without requiring decanting (unlike the main Vintage Ports bottled at two years). The Delaforce LBVs have won various awards for quality in prestigious international competitions, including gold medals in two successive years in the International Wine Challenge. Delaforce Vintage 2003 wins 4 stars! Delaforce Vintage 2003 wins 18 points! Curious & Ancient wins Decanter Gold!
