1970 Dow vintage port
Posted: 11:51 Sat 05 Nov 2011
Very slightly darker than the Graham 1970 shown alongside, 80% opaque. Red centre, very attractive appearance. Fresh, citrus nose with sour cherries, tobacco and cedar wood. Balanced entry and a balanced mid-palate. The fruit is gentle and in perfect harmony with very mild tannins and gentle acidity - perfect poise. Balanced aftertaste, with a long and lovely finish. This is a beautiful port, with a delightful balance. 92/100. Drunk 14 October 2011.
