Ageing |
Aged in bottle in the Dow’s cellars in Portugal for three years before being offered for sale. |
Consumption |
Crusted Port, although approachable at the time of release (i.e. 3 years after bottling), will repay the patience of allowing it to develop for 2-3 or more years in bottle. Offers an excellent value alternative to Vintage Port. |
Colour |
Deep and dark red in colour. |
Aroma |
The nose combining rich concentrated black berry fruits, with nuances of perfumed violets. |
Flavour |
On the palate very luscious and full, with a firm tannic backbone and lively acidity. Very polished and long finish. |
