Dow’s – 2007 Vintage Port "50 Classics you must try" “Vintage Port should be decadent when young and sublime when old, and Dow's - founded in Oporto, Portugal in 1798 - almost always fulfills those conditions. This 2007 is classically Dow-like, which means black fruit with dark, savory and spicy notes, and a refined structure that is just shy of austere." Ray Isle, Food & Wine, October 2009 "Really rather polished and superior. Masses of extract, not an awful lot of sugar, but refinement and breed." Janicis Robinson, Financial Times, May 30, 2009 Score: 18 "... Big, bold, combining power and elegance... Definitely a keeper." Richard Mayson, Decanter, August 2009 5 Stars (19) “Round and delicious already. Has the stuffing to age. Powerful.” James Suckling, Wine Spectator, May 6, 2009 94-97 Points Cellar Selection, Top 100 Cellar Wine Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2009 96 Points |
