A lone bottle purchased in September 2020 from BidForWine for £1 (+postage).
Opened and double-decanted at 0800 on the morning of the Aged LBVs tasting.
T-stopper cork which was in pretty good condition. Fair amount of sediment and good colour.
Back label said "bottled 2001".
QA sample OK.

Re: 1995 Delaforce LBV
Minty brambles and damp hedgerow, very dry. By the end of the night became a muggy but pleasant drink, the brooding closed fruit showing itself a little more. Good heft to the palate.
