- 2011 Dow Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (9/2/2016)
This is a monster that demands cellaring, but is by no means undrinkable if you wish to enjoy the primary blast of fruit and cocoa notes. A bit of alcohol was noticeable when first opened, but is was a crystal-clean, pure and smooth spirit. So much flavor and palate-staining weight here. Very enjoyable after about 10 hours in the decanter, and still going strong after 3 days. Very primary at the moment, but a lot of potential here. (96 pts.)

Killing off a really young one, huh? At least it was a really good young one!
