2004 Croft LBV
Posted: 17:49 Wed 28 Oct 2009
My first tasting note for y'all
Unfiltered. Bottled 2009. Half bottle.
Much better than the likes of a lot of filtered LBV (all but given up with LBV!), it has richer plumminess and better balance. The sweetness balances with the fruit nicely (Prunes and plums), with a good acidity in the background, the tannins providing a little grip. I think this might age nicely, and possibly a little faster as DRT suggested.
Not the most complex port in the world, but I liked it
