- 1985 Dow Porto Vintage - Portugal, Douro, Porto (3/14/2015)
Double decanted about six hours before service. Dark red with little browning. The sweetness jumps out at you, but there's good acidity as well to balance it. There's little alcohol heat due to the decanting time. I didn't pick up that distinctive Dow dry finish that normally comes with Dow ports. Going strong at 30 years of age. No reason to believe it can't make another 30. (93 pts.)
