The nose was red fruit, chocolate and alcohol. This was best after about 3 hours of decanting. Strawberry, chocolate with a hint of raisins were the dominant flavors. My biggest issue with this bottle was that it was a little hot. At around 3 hours decanting it was best integrated but there was still a bit of heat. Overall, very nice LBV. I think this has the structure to go for another five years.

Really nice LBV. Raisins and chocolate on the nose with a bit of alcohol. Bright red fruit initial taste with a lingering and subtly nuanced finish. Bottle through a lot of sediment. Needs more time to develop the nutty characteristic.

a very nice unfiltered lbv. lots of berries, cherries, with hints of leather and pipe tobacco. the sweetness and alcohol are very well-integrated. 20% alcohol and aged four years in wood.

From a 375ml bottle. Great LBV, and more developed than the 750 ml bottle. A lot of crust in the bottle too. Almost as a vintage.
