1991 Dow Vintage Port
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:38 pm
Upon opening , very dense, lots of heat but still approachable.
20 hours later more fruit , fennel seed, anise, ripe raspberries on the nose still a lot of heat but sort of like salsa, pleasantly spicey. Big mouth feel long finish. Cinnamon, fresh ground nutmeg , clove flavors, even a little mace. Concentrated.
I am not sure where the heat will be in a few years. Will it calm a bit?
Now it is has a hot peppermint nose. A taste like those cinnamon fireball candies.
A most interesting port, 92 points.
