1992 Dow, Quinta do Bomfim, Vintage Port (750ml) - $38.50/bottle [Next Best Price in the U.S. - $88.95]

"93 out of 100...Dow's 1992 Quinta do Bomfim is an expressive, fragrant, up-front style of port with a pungent, peppery, floral, cassis-scented nose, full-bodied, rich, chewy, ripe flavors, light tannin, and sensational extract and length. The wine explodes on the back of the palate, announcing its considerable richness and intensity. This port should drink well young, and last for 30 years." – WA

"92 out of 100...Much better than from barrel. Perhaps better than Dow's blended 1991 vintage Port. This is big and concentrated, presenting masses of velvety tannins and intensely ripe violet, raspberry and cherry flavors. It goes on and on. Cellar. Best after 1999. 2,200 cases made." – WS

I can't vouch for the wine, but I did verify that price claim on wine-searcher. I have no financial interest in this offer, but am a happy customer of TCWC.
