2003 Dow's Crusted Port

Post by angeleyes »

Delicious. Very young, with stained tears. Mint, fennel, cherries, cranberries and blackberries. Barely sweet, but spicy, good acidity. Should age well, but is very drinkable right now.

My only complaint about Crusted Port - is that I drink them too young! I am convinced that Crusted Ports will age well, but I never manage to resist them when they are sitting in the cabinet waving to me saying "Me next! Me next!"
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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