1992 Dow Quinta do Bomfin
A little paler than would be optically ideal. Pungent dry wine-y nose. Big burly wine. Good fruit, but extremely dry.

Consumed 6/4/22.

Attractive mature red, 80% opaque. Sweet blackcurrant nose with a lovely fragrance. Smooth entry, warm blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, a big fruit palate which is chunky and bold. Delicious black cherry finish with hints of tannins although the structured fruit dominates. Very impressive and still quite young. 90/100. Tasted 06-Apr-22. Decanted 10½ hours.

I liked the intensity of fruit on the palate however I found the nose a little closed. Fruity, with cherry, cranberries and prune and a medium+ finish. Very OK, just a little closed on the nose. 89/100, Tasted 06-Apr-22.

We had a horizontal of 1992s.
