Dow's 10 Year Old Tawny Port NV (Portugal)

Description

Apricot, Fig, Sweet

"Complex immense concentration allure with wonderful and sophisticated and delicate features. Apricot jam, and creamy palate. Outstanding!" International Wine Challenge, May 2018.

"Solid, with hazelnut, fig, plum cake and dried cherry notes in lockstep from start to finish. A streak of hazelnut husk tilts to the drier side of the tawny spectrum, resulting in mouthwatering cut on the finish" James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, June 2018.

Dow’s 10 Years Old Tawny has a bright tawny colour. On the nose brimming with aromas of candied fruit and toffee, beautifully combined with some mature ripe fruit. On the palate vibrant nutty flavours, perfect balance and with a lovely long finish.

Dow's old Tawnies are well known for their remarkable raisiny, dried fruit flavours, exquisite creamy texture and an exceptionally long, lingering and traditionally drier finish. This 10 Year Old Port is smooth, well balanced and mature and is ready for drinking now. Try serving chilled in warm weather.

Dow’s is owned and managed by the fourth generation of the Symington family, Port producers since the 19th Century. The family, whose experience dates back over 100 years, supervises all the vineyards, winemaking and ageing of this wine. Dow’s owns two of the Douro’s finest Quintas, Senhora da Ribeira and Bomfim. They were acquired in 1890 and 1896, making Dow’s one of the first houses to invest in premium vineyards.
