Rich magenta color. The wine smells earthy with a musty mineral quality, no fruit. Extremely muted flavors of pepper overlaid a light strawberry rhubarb combo. Moderate weight and short finish. (Wonder if this bottle was flawed)

Re: 2011 Dows LBV
I've struggled with this LBV over the years. By far the weakest Symington LBV brand they have, IMO. Which is in stark contrast to Dow's VP which I love. Your note seems pretty similar to ones I've had, so I don't think it was flawed.

Re: 2011 Dows LBV
John, did the Dow's LBV have a bottling date?
