Dow's Late Bottled Vintage Port 2020

Enticing aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry with undertones of black chocolate are followed by secondary notes of rock rose – a Douro wildflower – and forest elements suggesting pine needles and a hint of resin and eucalyptus. Typical Dow peppery tannins on the palate go hand in hand with a schist, earthy character lifted by mineral-like freshness. Fuller, more generous fruit than is typical for Dow, reflecting the year’s hotter profile.

Based at Quinta do Bomfim in the heart of the Douro, Dow’s LBV Port is rich, with just a hint of spirit to contrast with the just sweet fruit, a Dow house style. Drink this Port now.
