They gave as examples the Graham’s Ne Oublie (a Symington family heirloom), and the Quinta do Vesuvio and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira 2012 Vintage Ports. Revista de Vinhos stated though that the icing on the cake was the announcement in November by the influential US Wine Spectator that Dow’s 2011 Vintage Port was its Wine of The Year, ranked Nº1 in its annual TOP 100 listing which has global resonance. Chryseia, the Douro DOC red made by the Symingtons with the Prats family was ranked 3 rd.
