2008 Dow Bomfim
Posted: 22:38 Sat 02 Jan 2021
30 min decant. 95% opaque red juice. Still glass-staining.
Restrained blackberry-dominated nose. More bramble on the front palate, then summer pudding (made in this case with Hovis brown). No heat here. Long finish, sweet for a Dow, some spice and drying tannins very late.
Quite impressive. Not one for the ages, but really rather good port. I look forward to watching it develop over a few days.
