The 2004 LBV arrived here recently. Highest priced LBV in Norway and costing abt USD 11 (= 34 %) more than 2004 Graham’s LBV. The Noval is better, but not 34 % better.
Bottled 2010. Decanted 1.5 hrs, some sediments. Dark purple colour. Nice fruity aroma, could get the impression it would be younger than 2004. Smooth, elegant, also fruity on the taste, medium body, consistence showing difference between LBV and Vintage. A rather short finish showing moderate tannins. Consumed over three days with consistent quality. A nice LBV also available here in magnums. 90 pts.
