Dow's Late Bottled Vintage Port 1996

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalThe grapes for Dow's Late Bottle Vintage Port come from some of the same vineyards used to produce its Vintage Port. The wine is aged in oak casks for 4-6 years before it's bottled. The style of Dow's Ports is more structured and less sweet than most other houses and you detect it immediately on the palate. Drier firmer and with fine acidity it offers the plate a delicious mix of dark fruit flavours and spirit.Tasted: 07 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
