1999 Dow's Crusted Port
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2007 7:01 am
I recently found this and a 1998 Dow's Crusted port.
I decanted the 1999 for 4 hours and sampled it, drank most of it after 24 hours, and one final glass at 48 hours.
Overall, lots of dark fruit flavors and heavy blackberry notes. Very deep and a bit heavier than my only other experience with a crusty which was a Churchills 2000.
I am a definite fan of crusties. The more I try crusties the more I think I prefer them over unfiltered LBVs.
