1963 Dow's Vintage Port
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 6:55 pm
Dow 1963 2½ hours decanter time.
From the cellars of the Symington family. A deep colour, although a distinctly brown shade of red, a pale rose rim that is almost clear. Treacle on an alcoholic menthol nose, some almost vegetal - courgette - tones. Sweet and soft, a sip of the wine makes you want to roll it around the inside of your mouth and coat the flavours over all your taste buds. Raisins stewed in light syrup with spices and cinnamon in the midpalate, probably coming from the tannins that are still there, although faint. The aftertaste of golden syrup is very pleasant and lasts a long time. 95/100
