1978 Dow Crusted

An odd bottle with Dow on capsule and cork, but Fells name on the label.

A very nice quaff, very much in the nature of a VP of similar age, although more in the 'Portuguese' style than that of Dow.

Some time back I doubted the ability of Crusted ports to perform much beyond their 20th year, but Alex B begged to differ.

From the experiance of this bottle I'm inclined to agree with him!

I've had a 1964 Noval Crusted that was still drinking quite well. So Alex is right, they can hold up.

I'm delighted to see you continuing to experiment to gain the evidence of your own tastebuds.
