Dow


Dow's Vintage Ports are among the longest-lived, possessing impressive backbone and structure, they are also at the drier end of the scale and often show magical qualities on the nose. Much of the fruit used in declared vintage years comes from the premium vineyards at Quinta do Bomfim, which also makes a very fine wine in non-declared years under that name.

The Symington family have been involved with Dow most of the 20th century, taking full control in 1961. More recently, the purchase of Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira will further strengthen Dow's in declared vintage years, as this estate's top-grade fruit will be used in the blend. Dow's, with Warre's, lies just beneath the top flight of Vintage Ports and consequently offers less market-driven prices; when one considers the time these wines will keep and improve over, one has to appreciate their sheer value for money.

A peculiarly British affair, Crusted Port is, at heart, a vintage port, or, to be more precise, a multi-vintage port. In the way that Krug or Grand Siècle Champagne are the products of three different vintages, Crusted is an amalgam of three vintages, in this case, 98, 99 and 2000, bottled ... MORE

The 1994 Dow is massive in structure and complexity. The nose is expressive and impressive with touches of damson, prune and elderflower with underlying tinge of molasses. The palate is drier than many of its counterparts with a typical spicy Dow character. What sets the 1994 apart from other ... MORE
