Pretty good, but a little too sweet without balancing flavours compared with the Taylors I've now decided. Fun, spicy and ougoing, it's a great everyday drink though and well worth it!

Half-bottles at very nice £4 price. Holds up well against Taylor's '04 LBV, being a little sweeter, and spicier, perhaps not with the depth or finesse of the Taylor, but impressive nonetheless. Unfiltered definitely a good idea from Croft. Much more impressive than the rather too hot and chunky Graham's '05 LBV. I can see this maturing (and faster than larger bottles, which is good news) into an even better port. For the price, an amazing bargain.

Good nose with sweet red fruit and candy. Pallet starts out sweet and there's lots of sweet candied fruitiness on the pallet. Good dessert all by itself or with some 85% coco chocolate, wow that was a great match. Good QPR. Would buy again.

a bit too sweet, but good for the discount price

A standard quality LBV, not too sweet or alcoholic. Nothing on the nose, which was disappointment after 3 hours of decanting.
