1970 Dow

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Bottled by Grants of St James. A lovely mature red colour, 40% opaque. Sweet dried fruit on the nose, but limited in volume. Delightful sweet and dried fruit on the palate, mature and perhaps drying a little. Nice orange zest develops on the late palate and leads into a delicious warm marmalade aftertaste and sticky honey finish. A lovely mature Vintage Port. 93/100. Drunk 24-Apr-23.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
