Dow's Vintage Port

Douro, Portugal - "Opening up to reveal ripe, exotic aromas of gum cistus, eucalypt and mint. Ripe, quite powerful and still tight-knit with lovely rich, minty fruit, broad yet firm tannins rising to a fresh, gripping, opulent finish. Now glorious to drink – it should last a lifetime."

Douro, Portugal"...Perfectly balanced with a killer thread of acidity slicing through such pure intense black fruit that there is no heaviness at all. There is a sense of thrust on the finish as it fans out with almost careless abandon.."

Douro, Portugal - "Shows the intense ripeness of the vintage with hints of raisins and other dried fruits. Full-bodied, medium sweet and so very velvety. A big mouthful. Superb. Just starting to open."

Portugal - CELLAR SELECTION - "Just beginning to mature, this single vineyard Port from Dow's flagship estate is dense, generous and full of spice and dark sweet fruits, with an underlying structure."

Portugal - "Sleek and fresh, with dark plum and blackberry notes laced with singed alder and ganache. Shows nice drive through the polished finish as the fruit expands. Drink now through 2031."

Douro, Portugal - "Pure grape aromas that remind me of fermenting must but then goes to stems and dried flowers. Full-bodied, medium sweet with fine-grained tannins that coat your palate. Powerful and muscular yet remains agile and beautiful. Grows on your palate."

Portugal - Douro - "Offers a hedonistic experience, with notes of coffee can bread, ganache and sweet tobacco, plus steeped plum, blackberry and acai berry fruit. Supported by a tarry swath, the finish has an old-school echo, thanks to a warm accent. Solid..."

Douro, Portugal- "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." WS 2014 TOP 100 #1

Portugal - Douro - "Precise, with a pretty, grainy texture and incisive character. Medium- to full-bodied, long and dimensional. The grainy texture turns saline. Very stimulating to taste."

Douro, Portugal - "Aromas of blueberries, blackberries and dried flowers plus hints of slate follow through to a full body, very fine tannins and a driven and linear finish. Orange peel and dried fruit. Sleek and racy."

Portugal - "This is an interesting take on a 10-year-old tawny where it comes across more like a classic Late Bottled Vintage. Full-bodied, medium dry and tannic. Dried berries and a light caramel undertone. Drink now."

Porto, Douro, Portugal - "Showing very good concentration for the year and beautiful structure, this lovely Single Quinta Port is full in the mouth and very powerful in its youth. The beautiful fruit underneath announces its presence with some intensity--it tastes great..."
