1977 Dow'S

The Dow's 1977 vintage from Douro, Portugal is a testament to the mastery of winemaking by the Symington Family Estates. This wine exudes a deep ruby hue, hinting at its age while still maintaining a vibrant appearance. The bouquet is powerful, with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a touch of cedar. On the palate, this port is full-bodied and rich, with flavours of black cherry, dark chocolate, and a subtle smokiness. The tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind traces of dried fruits and a touch of spice. This is a true classic vintage port, with the potential to continue ageing gracefully for decades to come. Enjoy this magnificent wine with a rich chocolate dessert or a selection of fine cheeses.
