1980 Dow Vintage Port

Post by John Danza »

  • 1980 Dow Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto
    Opened three hours before service. WOW! This is a big wine that still has yet to reach maturity. Lots of plum flavors. Still some alcohol heat that would have mellowed out if it had been opened earlier. Dark purple color without any color loss. At 32 years old, this wine is at least another 5 years from maturity and will hold together for at least a decade after that. Clearly the wine of the vintage. (95 pts.)
