Merchant's description
Dow’s Vintage Ports are only produced in years of exceptional quality and only use selected fruit from the companies’ finest vineyards; Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta de Senhora da Ribeira. The 2016 is an expressive and elegant wine with a deeply concentrated core of powerful dark fruit. This will require a considerable amount of cellaring before it is ready to drink and has the potential to age for at least 40-50 years.
