Roy,

The 2 Dow above go with the other 4 I ordered last fall on release pre-arrival which can be found earlier in this thread. But having another 6 Dow is not a bad call!

I probably will find a few more over the next year, but magnums are hard to find. I do need more 2000 and less though to bridge the gap.

A Dow's Crusted Port (2003 bottling). I think this was the first time I've ever seen a crusted Port on a California retailers shelves (Corti Brothers, Sacramento).

Perhaps in a decade we can try one at the next iteration of the "old LBVs tasting". 2009 and older!

A couple of years ago I shared a 1965 Grahams Malvedos with a friend born in that year, and it was quite delicious.
