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.

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

good enough to do it again. Again a nice match with 85% coco chocolate.
