Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant and effortlessy charming vintage port from warm vintage year of 2003.
The lowdown:
This was a pretty hot year in the Douro and the ripe fruit fruit that resulted has produced some quite opulent wines with plenty of stamina. Dow's vintage this year is dark and intensely purple in colour while on the nose it has a restrained and subtle aroma of damsons and soft spice. On the palate it has powerful and rich tannins with immense ripe fruit flavours with layers of bitter chocolate flavours and a characteristic freshly-ground black pepper finish. Less intensely sweet than other leading Vintage Ports it has a slightly drier style than most.
When to drink:
It has excellent ageing potential right up to the middle of the century.
Vintage port is likely to contain sediment so should be decanted prior to drinking.
