1966 Dow
Posted: 22:09 Sun 07 May 2023
The cork fell in when I tried to use a corkscrew on it. The wine is not undrinkable, but it’s oxidised and tawny and not what it should be. It reminds me of a Dow 1908. It’s fiery but honeyed, dry but simultaneously full of brown sugar, dominated by bitter and fragrant lime oil yet balanced by sweet and fat dates. It’s got a great long finish. I’m moderately enjoying it; it’s just not what D66 should be. 83/100. Opened 14-Apr-2023.
