NV Dow Christmas Ruby Reserve

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A ruby port, which the back label states has been made from a blend specially selected to provide "Christmas notes" of nutmeg and fruit.

Rather lightweight and disappointing. Perfectly decent ruby port with a nice soft fruitiness and gentle tannins, a touch short on the finish. Nothing wrong with the port, but never going to be a memorable drinking experience. 82/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
