1955 Dow vintage port
Mature ruby in colour. Huge amounts of bottle stink on the nose. The bottle stink flavours also dominate in the mouth. Needs a day or two to try and come round. Not rated.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Stinky, stinky stuff. But I also noted chocolate, nice weight and a long finish.

Sadly a rough bottle, not corked, just poor - but the only bottle of the night that failed to meet expectations.
