Very nice LBV. Graham’s 1994 was the ‘benchmark’ I had previously used for LBV but this was more to my taste. Robust ruby colour with a brown tinge. Aromas of raspberry and other ‘sharper’ red fruit like redcurrants pleasantly balanced by light vanilla hints. Same fruit flavours blended smoothly with a burnt sugar / caramel flavour make this really drinkable.
