Dow's - Late Bottled Vintage Porto 2018 (750ml)
Bright, exuberant aromas of blackberry and blueberry are pierced by a shaft of mint which gives the wine an incredible, scintillating freshness. The substantial mouthfeel carries ample black forest fruit and fleshy, black plum flavours punctuated by peppery tannins and fine acidity, all combining to underscore the wine’s fine structure and balance. The long aftertaste suggests tobacco and tea, wrapped in Dow’s trademark dry finish.
Dow's Description
Sharing the same provenance as our legendary Vintage Ports, our 2018 LBV is made using grapes from our best-performing plots at Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira. Aged in oak vats for up to six years before being bottled, the 2018 has exuberant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and a touch of mint.

Sleek and fresh, with dark plum and blackberry notes laced with singed alder and ganache. Shows nice drive through the polished finish as the fruit expands.
