Dow's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2011
Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalRum raisin, cherry cola, sugarplums, candied violets, orange peel, pipe tobacco on this potent, silken palate, one gripped by a scruff of cherry pit that grows loud on the finish, but lined with cushy seville marmalade to counter. In Dow's tight, restrained / severe way, this is looking through a keyhole, with a promise of what's more to come, but leaves you wanting more. Drinking well now, with cherry tart or Black Forest Cake.Tasted: 13 December 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
