Dow's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2008

16^¼/20

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalNice to see Dow's LBV on the shelf to bring that slightly drier style of port to the early drinking port market. The nose is typically floral with fragrant roses and violets and hint of wet stone minerality. Black fruits, spice black liquorice, orange peel, dried fig, and smoky, tobacco flavours mark the palate. Dow's LBV normally spends four to six years in the barrel before it is released in a ready to drink style.Tasted: 13 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
