1977 Dow

The 77s are starting to come round now, their evolution of late a little more rapid than some may have predicted a decade ago, but still very fine wines. Dow, of course, the most puritanical and upstanding of the Symington Houses, always produces a wine worthy of long cellaring and rigorous intellectual scrutiny on opening. I suspect the 77 will not disappoint; the tannins have softened with great dignity and the fruit is still wonderfully present and perfectly balanced within the ensemble.
