Dow's 1955

Vintage Port

 First class.

Description

Well constructed wine with fine aromas and excellent length.

Our Expert's Recommendation

"If you have odd bottles of this wine in your cellar, you may find that there can be a slight variation between each bottle depending largely on where they have been stored. This wine is unlikely to benefit from further ageing. 1955 Dow is always very impressive."

“I have always loved this wine. Dark ruby in colour, with a brick rim and lovely aromas of cherry, blackberry and flowers. Full-bodied and sweet, with loads of fruit and a long, long finish. Still in a holding pattern.”
