DOWS QUINTA DO BOMFIM VINTAGE PORT 75CL 20%

In the good years when Dows does not declare a Vintage, the best Ports of Quinta do Bomfim are carefully selected and bottled as Dows Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port. 

These wines are exceptionally good. They will tend to mature a little earlier. Exceptionally aromatic, with aromas of violets, which is quite typical of the Vintage Port from Dow's.

In the nose blackberry ringtones, black currant and plum. There is also present notes of Esteva contribution of the Touriga Nacional. Has something of spices, from the relatively high proportion of Sousao, which are balanced by fresh acidity and minerality. On the palate its dry but firm with a long finish and ripe tannins.

Single Quinta Vintage Ports are made in a similar way to other Vintage Ports in that they're bottled, without filtration, after a couple or so years in barrel and continue to mature in bottle from there. They will have a sediment and so should be decanted before drinking.

Dows Ports are a little drier than quite a few other ports which is Dow's hallmark; so it's ideal with chocolate desserts, or blue veined cheeses.
