Day off . . .

[Luc]

Decided to open a bottle of Grahams 2000 LBV , on a day off .
I've made better decisions . . .
1st impression : mouth wash aftertaste
1 hour : cough syrup ( just as well , I've a cold )

Luc,

Was that for breakfast? Put what time it is for you, in your next Post. I'm usually disappointed in the standard LBV's. Hope yours is a good un. Doesn't sound awe-inspiring up to now. You should have tried that Grahams in the bell shaped bottle, is it the Tawny? That was lovely.

Full Man Flu??? (You big puff )

Alan , It was just after breakfast ( 10:00 a.m. )
Up 'till now , been rather disappointed with the LBV's I've chosen .
Colheitas and 30+ yr Tawny's for breakfast do the trick . . .

[Andy Velebil]

this is a darn good LBV in my book (of course we all gave different tastes). Wonder if your cold may be causing some tastes issues. I know my palate doesn't do so well when I am sick, so i avoid any wine during those times.

[Luc]

I'll give It another shot once the cold is over . . .

Luc,

hopefully your cold is getting better. The Grahams LBV is one of my absolute winners. Please try again, as I dont have any record of anyone I have presented this wine didnt like it.

I think it's a bit unfair if you compare an LBV for 15 EUR with a colheita or a 30y old Tawny, which are more expensive. But if you are the Tawny-guy, no LBV could do the trick anyways.

Bottom line: The Grahams LBV is in my oppinion a very good representative of the LBV-squad, so please try again and tell us how it went.

I'm with you Luc, I don't like the Graham's LBV much. For a few $ more you can get the much better Crusted, or for the same money you'll buy 'real' LBV's like Niepoort, Warre, Churchill, Quinta do Crasto, Passadouro etc etc.

[Luc]

I've enjoyed both Niepoort and Warres LBV's .
But to be fair, I'll give Grahams 2000 LBV another go once the cold is a thing of the past .
Hope this cold leaves soon , I've a Xmas line up that needs attending . . .
