2011 Dow's vintage port

Post by Rune EG »

I have purchased a lot of the 2011 vintage ports, but not really tried any of them. So Emmy and I started out with the 2011 Dow, and there were high expectations in view of many journalists giving high scores. Well, all expectations were fulfilled. I am giving the highest score I have ever given for a vintage ports. 97 pts,

Decanted 11 hrs. Dark purple colour. Fresh aroma of flowers, tobacco, dark red berries and a touch of oak, Full body. Smooth, elegant, perfectly balanced, well structured with a nice level of acid, tiny bit dry towards the end, long aftertaste. Powerful in a way that melts well with the elegance. Extremely nice vintage port. I agree with those that say this vintage port can be consumed both as young and will also have long pleasant life ahead with great cellaring potential. 97 pts.

Crazy generous score from RG, that is for sure. : :lol:
