This Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) shares the same provenance with Dows legendary Vintage Ports, namely the Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira vineyards, which have been owned by Dows since the late 19th century.

Bright, exuberant aromas of blackberry and blueberry are pierced by a shaft of mint which gives the wine an incredible, scintillating freshness. The substantial mouthfeel carries ample black forest fruit and fleshy, black plum flavours punctuated by peppery tannins and fine acidity, all combining to underscore the wines fine structure and balance. The long aftertaste suggests tobacco and tea, wrapped in Dows trademark dry finish.
