1945 Dow

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Brick red with a distinct brown tone; 80% opaque. A little volatility on the nose at first, sweet and slightly almond-ey. On the palate this is mature but powerful with generous levels of spiced and lively fruit - lots of raisins and mace. A lovely, lovely port. 94/100. Drunk 26-Sep-16. Decanted 5 hours.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

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