The 2010 Late Bottled Vintage Port is a field blend aged in tonels. It comes in at 97 grams per liter of residual sugar. La Rosa's PR says, "The style is slightly drier than some houses with a freshness and acidity on the palate. We work hard to ensure that there is little brandy 'burn' and that it is well integrated with the wine element of the port." The price references a 500ml bottle, from which it was tasted. This is a tasty LBV that is soft and harmonious, but well structured enough to seem serious on Day 2. After the first rush of sweetness, it dries quickly (as predicted) and it shows impeccable balance amid all those rich flavors laced with seared chocolate. Fairly dense on the mid-palate, the lively finish has very ripe tannins; just enough so the wine seems neither dull nor boring. It should be a crowd-pleaser, satisfying to all levels of drinkers. It doesn't, however, have much in the way of a backbone. It will best be drunk young, however long it theoretically lasts.
