Vintage Port of the Month
Dow's 2007 Vintage Port
100 out of 100 Points
"Amazing aromas of lilac, violet, crushed blueberry and mineral that turn to black pepper and spices follow through to a full-bodied, medium-sweet palate, with a long, chewy finish. Evolves to tar and asphalt. Really held back, yet powerful grip slaps you. This is mind-blowing in texture. The greatest Dow ever made."
James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 2010
