Has anyone tried this LBV yet? I have checked, but found no TN's on it.

Thanks

Andy;

I have had several bottles of this in both 750 and 375 format as a local shop has had these at a very advantageous price.

I thought that I had posted a tasting note but if not I will do so from memory.

The wine was extremely dark and a little bit alcoholic but the fruit does shine thru. While it does not have a great long finish it is certanily worth the $ (I was paying $17 for 750 and $9.99 for the 375's).

I don't quite put in on the level of Noval, Fonseca or Grahams LBV's but close and I like the little bit of acidity wich I found in the finish.

To me it help frame the flavors.

All in all I would reccomend it as a decent QPR.
