Our Expert's Recommendation
" This Single Quinta wine has now reached its full maturity and is ready for drinking. As it ages further, it will begin to develop gently into a more tawny style wine."
Press Comments
“Fullish colour. Fragrant and stylish on the nose…More weight on the palate than you would think. Vigorous. Backward. Well balanced. Lovely cool, elegant finish. Fine.”
"…pungent, peppery, floral, cassis-scented nose, full-bodied, rich, chewy, ripe flavours…and sensational extract and length. The wine explodes on the back of the palate, announcing it considerable richness and intensity."
Dow's 1992 Quinta do Bomfim is an expressive, fragrant, up-front style of port with a pungent, peppery, floral, cassis-scented nose, full-bodied, rich, chewy, ripe flavors, light tannin, and sensational extract and length. The wine explodes on the back of the palate, announcing its considerable richness and intensity. This port should drink well young, and last for 30 years.
