TN: 1966 Dow

[John Danza]

Served at this week's IWFS Chicago dinner. Double decanted and resealed 24 hours before service.

This is really an amazing wine. The color was hard to deduce in the light, but looked like a medium brick red. There was still some alcohol heat on it, enough to tell you you're drinking a port.

The palate was most amazing. There really was no sugar sweetness that you would associate with port. What's here now is an incredible fruitiness that I haven't experienced in a port in quite a while. It's a fruit bomb of raspberry, cassis, and blackberry. I couldn't get enough. Amazing! (95 pts.)
