Dow's 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Douro Valley,
$84. 99
Bottle
$1019.88 Dozen
ABV: 20%
Closure: Cork

Dow's are historic producers of long lived, impressively structured Ports, sourced from several exceptional quality vineyards around the Douro. Their house style tends to be drier, more focussed, and aromatic.

Produced from traditional Portuguese varietals and made exclusively from grapes sourced only from the highest classification vineyards. These wines are barrel-aged for at least 10 years in Dow's coastal cellars, concentrating and transforming the wine gradually over time. Despite the extended aging, the wine retains its bright fruit flavours, but gains an impressive amount of complexity. 

Other Reviews……
Solid, with hazelnut, fig, plum cake and dried cherry notes in lockstep from start to finish. A streak of hazelnut husk tilts to the drier side of the tawny spectrum, resulting in mouthwatering cut on the finish. Drink now.

This is an interesting take on a 10-year-old tawny where it comes across more like a classic Late Bottled Vintage. Full-bodied, medium dry and tannic. Dried berries and a light caramel undertone. Drink now.
