1963 Dow

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Dow 1963, bottled by the Wine Society: deep red, 80% opaque. Lively sweet fruit on the nose, beautifully spiced. Peppercorn heat on the entry, rich fruit, dry and livened up with cinnamon and mace. Pepper and paprika heat on the aftertaste. Red cinnamon lozenge on the palate, lively heat with sweet red fruit. Slightly dry on the finish. 86/100. 28-Sep-21. Decanted 5½ hours.
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!
