1970 Dow

Post by PopulusTremula »

Bought from BBR. Fill well into neck, cork well saturated and came out in good shape.

Clear rim going to brown and red with a 40% opaque ruby core.

Right off the bat this port is very inviting and ready for action. Lovely ethereal nose of red fruit and marzipan. Great mouthfeel, silky smooth and thick with great balance - tannins, fruit and alcoholic heat.

This is Grade A port.

93 points.

Cork came out fairly intact.

Had this port (Oporto bottled) a few months ago, was a similar showing to yours. Delicious.
