1977 Dow
Posted: 21:45 Mon 27 Jan 2014
So here goes my first tasting note and my first bottle of Dow 77, having read of many corked bottles I opened nervously, but all looked good, a deep red colour maybe 50% and it smelled lovely.
I started drinking straight away (in case it went down hill) and returned regularly for a top up, it was thick with smooth texture with lots of red fruit (cherries?) and a good long finish. All in all very good port and no hint of TCA even the next evening when I finished it.
Thus I guess I just got lucky
