1984 Dow Bomfim

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

1984 Dow Bomfim. Dark red colour, looking quite youthful; 80% opaque. A lovely warm red fruit on the nose, which is very attracive. Delicious ripe red fruit palate with hints of tannins still in the sweet red plum. Lingering raspberry and ginger finish which lasts very well. 91/100. Guess: DB84. Was: DB84.
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!

Good colour but pale rim. Spicy nose. Delicious ripe fruit.
