My second time around with LBV was a little disappointing and not as good as I remembered it. This time around it seemed only slightly better than a standard ruby. Still, I am going to cellar a bottle of this unfiltered LBV to see if a few years makes a difference.

A nice, solid LBV. I decanted this, as it is unfiltered. It starts off a little simple and grapey, but after about a half hour it develops some complexity. The alcohol is nicely integrated and it has some nice cocoa flavors but still a bit grapey. My wife was able to detect some pomegranate.
A good not great LBV.

Drunk over a few days - no signs of age - rich, fruity, some heat in the middle - fine finish - excellent value sub-15 euros.
