NV Dow Master Blend

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Mature red colour, 90% opaque. Gently fruity nose, a little muted. Slightly harsh entry with muddy fruit and a rather sharp mid-palate. The volume on the palate grows well but the alcohol shows strongly on the harsh aftertaste. Not a pleasant port. Sourced from Tesco. 75/100. Drunk 18-Nov-15. Pop 'n' pour.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
