1995 Dow's Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port
I opened this yesterday and have been sipping on it since. This is a very simple SQVP that has some pecular notes to it. From its very simple light weight palate of strawberries and light plums, fully resolved tannins, and short finish. The one thing that I keep coming back to though, is the palate tastes like someone added a bunch of So2, which dominates the fruit. I don't recall ever having that taste sensation in a VP before. Its a little bit less noticeable on day 2, but still there. I would have to rank this as more of a lower quality LBV and a very poor showing compared to other Bomfim's I've had. I don't see this improving with time. 83 points
