Dow's 1997 Vintage Port
Arrow

Description

The Dow’s 1997 Vintage is an outstanding wine, made slightly drier in the classic Dow tradition, which due to its superb structure will evolve into a classic vintage port. Very dark opaque purple colour, with a typically spicy nose and intense underlying aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants. On the palate enormous weight and structure with a marvellous balance of dense black fruit flavours wrapped in a tannic cloak.

International Wine and Spirit Competition:

"Rich, deep, bright purple. Nose still full of youth dominated by ripe berry fruit where cherry plays an important part. All backed by glorious floral tones with dark rose and violets. Massive mouth with huge, youthful flavours. The enormous seam of fruit spans the mouth with full tannic backing. At this stage the beautiful balance is overwhelmed by the fruit. Lifted by the spirit and well held by the well judged oak. An enormous wine that will please the adventurous now but will more than repay many more years in the bottle. Gorgeous beauty." Score: Gold Medal

James Suckling:

"Wine Spectator's Special Report: Vintage Port: Super. I love the nose of this young Port, which shows raisin, spice and a little stemminess. Full-bodied, medium-sweet, with loads of ripe tannins and a long, long finish. Really racy and exciting. Even better than when tasted from barrel." Score: 95/100
