DOW’S 2017 LATE BOTTLED VINTAGE PORT

$25.99

Produced in a fantastic vintage year, the 2017 Late Bottled Vintage Port has gorgeous aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice, and a touch of mint. Full-bodied with delicious wild berry flavours, the 2017 has impressive structure and peppery tannins, finishing with Dow’s hallmark drier finish.

TASTING NOTE

Gorgeous aromas of blackcurrant and liquorice, with some traces of mint in the background. The compact structure asserts itself through the full-bodied feel and the wild berry flavours are livened by the focus and tension provided by fine acidity. Peppery tannins season and lift the flavours, bringing the fruit to life and Dow’s hallmark drier finish polishes and balances the wine.

STORAGE AND SERVING

This Port is bottled ready to drink and does not benefit from further cellaring. Once open, it will keep in fine condition for up to a month. An excellent dessert wine to enjoy on its own or with chocolate desserts or semi-cured/cured cheeses (Cheddar, Manchego and others).
