For The Love Of Port

Dow 1970 VP (Courtenay Wines International, UK bottling): good nose with tar and dried fruits. Very thick, rich and medium sweet (sweeter than more recent Dow VPs). Some secondary flavours, but it is still mostly about fruit. Very smoky finish that had a distinct bacon touch to it – odd, but interesting. A nice glass, but not as good at the bottle I opened for joea last year (an Oporto-bottling that showed MUCH younger).
