DOW

2011

Origin Portugal, Port
ABV 20%

Wonderfully creamy seamless nose of rich black fruit and glinting highlights of crushed blackcurrant. Creamy with fine tannins in medium to full body. All of a piece, fine precise texture and very long. A touch of very dark mint chocolate. Beautiful balance and really rather gourmand. Rating: 95 L&S (May 2013)

Deep, saturated dark ruby. Penetrating aromas of black cherry, violet, lavender, licorice, dark tobacco and minerals. Then plush and elegant in the mouth, with outstanding depth and a hint of youthful bitterness to the superconcentrated flavors of black raspberry and spices. The wine's perfectly integrated acidity and floral lift give the finish great hang time. With 48 hours in the recorked bottle, this beauty showed its powerful underlying medicinal reserve without losing its freshness. Should be a wonderful follow-up to the splendid 2007 Dow--and very long-lived. Snap this one up and grow old gracefully with it. Rating: 97 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 2014)

The nose is firm quite austere with a mix of cassis and red cherry. The start of the palate feels fresh with more red fruits than black the fruit underpinned by fresh green figs. There are layers of flavour some bitter chocolate lots of complexity and depth rich cassis and black cherry at the back with a lovely long mineral driven finish. 2030--60 Rating: 97 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

Powerful, refined and luscious, with a surplus of dark plum, kirsch and cassis flavors that are unctuous and long. Shows plenty of grip, presenting a long, full finish, filled with Asian spice and raspberry tart accents. Rich and chocolaty. One for the ages. Best from 2030 through 2060.
