1991 Dow Vintage Port
Posted: Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:40 pm
Decanted: 4½ hours, cork only wet 3mm in - extracts in 1 piece
Appearence: Dark cherry red with a slight watery rim showing
Nose: Good rounded nose with almost no alchohol, a tad simple maybe, with fresh must and a little mint and tobacco notes?
Taste: Slightly tannic hit on arrival, then rounds off, baskets of blackcurrant and some cocoa notes, slightly drying, Alchohol very well integrated
Finish: Get a litlle over on apples, acids, then back to currants, chocolate covered almonds, maybe? but definately almonds on the finish after 7½ hours
Comments: Very very nice surprise, this one... I'd give it a 91 points! note to myself: try and get another one of these and maybe leave it for 3-5y
Cheers,
Claus
