2007 Dow’s Vintage Port
A tad darker than the Warre’s, but still just shy of Squid Ink. I will say this one had one powerful nose as even in the Bordeaux glass it gave nice aromas of blackberrys and tobacco. The palate was a little tight but still showed leather, cedar, moderate tannins and solid acidity. I wasn’t impressed this time as I’ve had far better showings of this bottle so take the score with a grain of salt. 90-92 points.
