1994 Dow quinta do Bomfim

Post by Walt R. »

I saw a ad for a 1994 Dow Quinta do Bomfim? I was under the impression that the SQVP
were only produced in non declared years.

I am not aware of any Bomfim produced in 1994, but I could be mistaken (but doubt it in this case). The Dow 1994 is gorgeous and I'd call the shop and find out exactly what they have before ordering. You can just ask them simply and see if the bargain of a SQVP still applies. [cheers.gif]

I have data from the Symingtons that was gathered recently and Dow Bomfim 1994 was not listed in the wines they have produced.

Probably just the merchant who made a mistake on the name of the bottling or the vintage.

I smell a bargain in the offing.
