Our Expert's Recommendation
"
Only a few bottles of this great wine remain anywhere in the world. Opening and serving such a rare Port is certain to be a memorable occasion. After many decades of gentle ageing in bottle, this Port will be delicate and wonderfully complex. It has the superb concentration of flavours and aromas of one of the greatest Vintage Ports ever made. This wine should be decanted carefully at least 4 hours before serving to allow the incredible aromas to emerge after so long in bottle. This Vintage Port will continue to improve for many decades to come, but at any stage it will be stupendously good."
Press Comments
The alluring, rosy nose of my last bottle, a few years ago, was not so evident...but there's still a toffee and tar finish with a really fantastic sweet upturn at the end, a true "lift".
“This has an alluring rosy nose. Extremely seductive. Really luscious for its age. Toffee and tar finish with a sweet upturn. A very aristocratic Port – fine textured”.
“One of the great underrated vintages of Port. I’ve tasted this Dow a handful of times and it is always superb. Dark brick red in color, with a ruby center and intense aromas of cherry and raisin. Full-bodied, with a sweet palate, soft tannins and a long, long cherry, grape and earth aftertaste. A joy to drink.”
