Dow's Crusted Port

Post by Thomas V »

Date: 04/03/2016

Place: The WineCompany in Copenhagen

Condition: Served at around 17 degrees Celsius, bottled in 2016

Color: Opaque, dark red with a purple rim

Nose: Splendid nose with liquorice, violets. Quite masculine

Note: Medium body. Nice hit of sweetness where after the tannins kicks in and a dryness takes over in the after taste. Not a stand out in the evening. Was most likely a blend of the 2009 and 2008 vintage. The nose yielded and additional point.

Info: This was part of a tasting session with Gustavo Devesas. Time for making elaborate taste notes was scarce.

Score: 89 points
