Dow's Vintage 2017 Porto
€ 109,00
The 2017 Dow’s Vintage Port showed a slight reduction and required more time to really open in the glass. Typical of Dow’s it has a more backward and introspective bouquet compared to its peers, scents of blackberry, clove, wild mint, cassis and vanilla, gradually gaining more intensity with aeration. The palate is simply glorious. It is built around a compelling tannic frame that seems finer than any Dow’s I have encountered apart from the ethereal 2011. There is so much energy coiled up in this Port, a sense of symmetry that is enthralling and yet you just know that it needs to be cellared for 15-20 years for it to reveal its full potential. For serious Port-lovers. One of the vintages most cerebral offerings. Total production is 5,250 cases - 98/100 - Neal Martin, vinous.com, June 2019

Saturated black colour, with a spicy, peppery nose with wild bramble fruits and exotic spices. The palate is muscular and rich, but shows great refinement, freshness and integration. Despite the densely concentrated fruit this has poise, tension and suppleness. The acids, sugars and alcohol are in perfect balance and allow the succulent fruit to shine through. Cinnamon, nutmeg and aniseed come through in waves on a enduring, moreish finish. A sublime Dow.
