On the palate this vintage port is exceptionally, offering a full-body, rich and powerful with black fruit coming to the fore
Gorgeous, ripe fruit is balanced by the fine tannin structure
On the finish, it is typically Dow, austere and somewhat drier than many other ports
The intense fruit flavours linger long on the palate
Superb ageing potential

Producing Dow’s vintage ports only in the years of exceptional quality. Which represents only a very small part of the total company’s production in that year. On average only two or three times every ten years are the weather conditions sufficiently good to allow for the making of Dow’s vintage port.
