1985 Dow’s Vintage Port

[Andy Velebil]

1985 Dow’s Vintage Port
The color was as dark as the 1994 Dow’s and still holding extremely well. I loved the nose of blackberries and some beginning hints of violets. It seemed younger than the 1994 Dow’s on the nose. Loads of cigar box jumped out at me on the palate which were quickly doused by juicy black fruit and big tannins. This was still such a baby and one every Port lover should own. 94-95(+) points
