Bottled for Harrods by SFE. Marked 'selected by Dow's'.
20% vol
Popped on Saturday night so 48 hrs for the 90% remaining to breathe.
90% opaque, purple rim.
Exuberant fruity nose - blueberry. Palate very much sequentially blackberry and then black cherry dominated, before becoming distinctly drier on the finish (blind, I might think this was a Dow from a slightly disappointing vintage). Long aftertaste of Darjeeling tea and BlackBerry and Apple Crumble.
More than merely quaffing port.
A testament to the remarkable keeping powers of port - albeit unopened, this has been in a sideboard in a centrally-heated house in Billingshurst since 2016.
