World Wine 2003 Dow s Vintage Port

Oporto, Portugal Dow s 2003 Vintage Port is one of the best from this great new vintage, with ratings of 94 points from both Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator. Here is Pierre Rovani s review in Wine Advocate: "The complex aromatics of the opaque, black-colored 2003 Dow Vintage Port display chocolate, dried oak, black cherries, blackberries, copious spices, and a myriad flowers. This fresh, backward wine offers a medium to full-bodied, deeply concentrated core of spice-laced dark fruits. Softly-textured and seductive in the mid-palate, it boasts abundant layers of candied Damson plums, blueberries, black cherries, molasses, and hints of chocolate before revealing its firm structure. Extremely youthful and primary, this exceptional effort demands patience. Projected maturity: 2025-2045+."
