Tasted at The Big Fortified Tasting, a trade fair in London at Glaziers Hall on Wed 06 April 2011 (Review thread, containing links to other tasting notes). This being a large trade-fair event, tasting notes generally brief.

Re: 2005 Offley LBV
Still a youthful red with a red rim. Delightful nose, rich and complex, full of blackcurrants. Soft entry, fruit driven with a richness and depth but supported by a core of acidity. Chocolate and blackcurrants dominate the long finish. Fantastic LBV. 90/100.
