Although this is a Filtered LBV there was still a lot of fruit and good tannins showing in this Dow. This was a very nice LBV that easily could have been mistaken for a good SQVP. The ruby red color eventually morphed into a reddish-brown hue after about 6 hours. It was a very easy to drink, smooth, well integrated, likable Port that still has at least another 10 years of life left. I really enjoyed this LBV and I would give it 93 points.

Don’t see many note on that one these days. Thanks for posting on it. Glad to hear it’s still doing so well.
