2011 Dow
Sweet buised plums and ripe bramble fruit on the nose, which takes a couple of days to develop fully. Arrives beautifully on the palate, with perfect synchonisation between the ripe fruit and punchy tannins. Some heat on the aftertaste then a huge, tannin and fruit aftertaste of considerable length. A long term port, powerful and impressive. 94-96 Tasted over 1-4 days as part of the extended 2011 tasting.
