Warre's Heritage Port - £5 at Asda

Never had this before but saw it in Asda at £5 per bottle, which I am willing to spend on a cooking Port if it turns out that way. It appears to have dropped from an original price of £10 but that could be marketing.
Anybody know anything at all about this Port?

Alex,
I dont. But knock yourself out as our Guine Pig. The £5 price would scare me as well but if you say its ok Asda will get a few more customers.
I will start to Officially hold my Breath.......

OK, time to test it, straight after opening.
Dark ruby with an amber tinge, quite thick. Nose of orange peel and caramel, with a few raisins. Mouth, it becomes more grapefruit, more dry than expected but pleasant and a good finish: could actually be better than Warrior. Errmmm... well worth a fiver. I'm going to Asda tomorrow and getting some more.

I have to admit that this got actually a little better with some lovely citric tones, seemed to get sweeter. I used the last in the Steak and Kidney pie and had to open another bottle.
Oh yes, went back and bought another four bottles - well worth a fiver each.
