I just bought a bottle of this LBV and though it says unfiltered there was no mention of when it was bottled. What about yours?

Interesting that your bottle of LBV has a bottling date whereas mine doesn't. It suggests that the producer thinks that the bottling date is not important in the Canadian market. I've been noticing an absence of bottling dates on some of the LBVs here, in particular the Dow, Cockburn, and Graham, and now this Noval.

Funny. ..I was just about to say the same thing. As to bottling dates I went off my excel sheet but seem to recall a lack of dates. So I checked photos. .. don't see dates. I don't have the empties but do have more of the Crasto. So. ..I may have given "alternative facts" under assumption most LBVs are bottled at for years now. I have no idea why producers are nit giving bottling dates and am curious why.
