I opened up an LBV a couple days ago, and finding it having too much heat (maybe 4-5 days later) I popped in an ice cube.

Well, the cube is actually plastic with some sort of liquid captured inside of it (I got those for the kids years ago, so they are shaped like various fruits). When this sort of unexpected heat happens, I generally pop in one plastic cube which does not seem to get the port too cold, but simply cools it a bit and takes away that extra bite. If I had thought about it, I guess I would have popped the bottle in the fridge for a short period of time before attempting to consume.
What do other people do when they discover the port they just poured is too damn hot!
The port in question is the 2007 LBV unfiltered from Fonseca. Upon opening, it was a wonderful explosion of berries with very little heat, rich, full mouth feel, fruity nose, mid-tannic. I'm afraid I didn't drink this one fast enough. I really enjoyed it on day 1 and 2, but forgot about it and got hit with the heat.
