2016 Dow`s Vintage Port
Secondary Description
Bigger depth of colour here than most so far. It`s very sweet on the attack, more so than expected for this house. It comes across as fine and quite delicate on the palate and initially disappears quickly. However a second taste reveals a much longer finish with good fruit and lovely texture. (CW 17/05/18)

Jancis Robinson
Like the other major Symington ports, Dow`s is made in its own stone-lagar winery. Based on the riverside Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira and Quinta do Bomfim, each with its own small lagar winery. Extremely dark blackish crimson (like Graham 2016!). Rather savoury and minerally on the nose. Such a strong, almost minty personality. Lovely blend of freshness and ripeness, though some may reproach it for slightly less tannins than others. Lovely briny impact. Relatively forward, possibly tempting to drink it quite young? Drink 2035-2065. 18 points
