2004 Dow LBV
Posted: 00:59 Wed 16 Dec 2009
Master Blend label.
Picked up from Tesco at £5.49 for 50cl, suspect offer is over. Very dark but clear. Medium viscosity and nice legs. Vanilla on the nose but little fruit or spice. Medium weight in the mouth with heavy sweetness and cherry pie flavours. At the back it comes on with the acidity and a dry Dow finish which lasts. This is actually very good and now I wished that I'd picked a few more at that price. Oh hang on, they only had two left and the other one's in the kitchen. OK, so it would have been nice of they had more. As far as filtered LBVs go, this is pretty darned nice and meets the Dow profile to a T.
