1977 Dow: at D+4h. Red with the slightest hint of purple. A slight vegetative note in the nose, especially relative to the ’70. Same flavour as the ’70, definitely siblings, but far hotter, and fruit no stronger. Baumé 2.9°. Actually good port, but dwarfed by the ’70, and not obviously going to improve. Somebody identified the vegetative note as ‟tea leaf”.

Also note the layout of the Symingtons’ placemats, which was partly responsible for inspiring the new /Gaia layout in
the placemat software.

The Dow '77 seems to be all over the place in tasting notes. Seems to be a lot of bottle variation. Sometimes I find it "not bad- what's all the hype about?" Other times it's beyond the hype and just magical.
I'd love to have a case of the magical one. A source of Dow '77 Mag's would be quite welcome in my cellar.
