Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalBottled in 2005 the latest Dow LBV has a prune, cooked, black cherry nose with threads of peppery, spicy, black tea and licorice aromas. As you might expect, it is still youthful and somewhat fiery with a ripe, round, slightly tannic attack and fine sugar/acidity balance. More spicy, peppery, black cherry jam, tarry, cardamom, coffee flavours with a touch of smoked leather and cherry mint on the finish. A big, warm LBV with a fine future.Tasted: 26 August 2006Tasted by: Prices:BC | $22.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
