Dow's 1977 (750ML)

17.5 JR / 94 JS

Mid garnet-tawny. Hint of mint lifts a smoky, black fruit, caramel and fig nose. Rich and full on the palate, but with a degree of mellowness too. Polished and fine, in its weighty, powerful idiom. (TJ)Tim Jackson MW / Drink 2020 - 2040 JancisRobinson .com

I have always been a fan of this very fine and well-made Port. Truly balanced in character, with focused flowers, spice and cherry. Full-bodied, with a sweet palate and a fine texture. - James Suckling, Wine Spectator
