For me, it needs another 5 years or so. I think I like the 15 a bit better.

10 years seems to be the limit on Altano. They've changed it the blend over the years too. I don't find the recent vintages to be as good. The older vintages were more restrained and elegant.Andy Velebil wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 11:42 pmA rather old vintage. How is it holding up?Eric Menchen wrote:2011 Symington Douro Altano

First night I was underwhelmed, but still thought it a reasonable QPR, 86-88 points. Second night I thought it better, and would give it 88-89. That was a pleasant surprise. Despite the improvement, if I had more of these, I would drink them sooner rather than later.Andy Velebil wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 11:42 pmA rather old vintage.
