FEATURES

🏰 The 2017 Dow's Vintage Port is a powerful and muscular yet agile and beautiful expression, crafted in a slightly drier house style from a warm and dry vintage that allowed for complete, balanced ripening. This opaque Port reveals a complex bouquet of 【blackberry, clove, wild mint, cassis, and vanilla】, alongside rich notes of 【dark chocolate and blackcurrant】. The palate is dense and thickly textured, dripping with 【warm salted licorice, tar, açaí paste notes, plum and blueberry pâte de fruit, chai spice, and chocolate elements】, all supported by fine-grained tannins. 🍴 This full-bodied Vintage Port is a classic pairing for strong, mature cheeses like Stilton, and decadent dark chocolate desserts, especially those with red fruits. It also complements toasted walnuts and oiled almonds. 🥂 A cerebral offering for serious Port-lovers, this wine needs significant cellaring to reveal its full potential, with a recommended drinking window from 2028, and best from 2030-2055.

BACKGROUND

Dow's is one of the most historic and prestigious Port houses, founded in 1798. Now owned by the Symington family, Dow's is renowned for its distinctive style of Vintage Port, which is typically drier than other houses, with a firm tannic structure and intense black fruit flavors. The grapes are sourced from prime vineyards in the Douro Valley, including Quinta do Bomfim. Dow's Vintage Ports are legendary for their exceptional longevity and complexity.
