The 2024 is a classic worthy of standing alongside the highly acclaimed Dow's declarations of this century - the 2007 (100 points Wine Spectator), the 2011 (Wine Spectator Wine of the Year in 2014), and the impressive back-to-back 2016 - 2017 declarations. For well over a century, five generations of the Symington family have farmed the two vineyards that form the backbone of Dow's classic Vintage Ports: Quinta do Bomfim in the Cima Corgo and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira, further upriver in the Duoro Superior. It is the combination of the finest wines from these tow estates that gives Dow's Vintage Ports their signature structured grip and powerful frame - an unmistakable lineage stretching back more than two centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical deep, brooding aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, with hints of bitter chocolate, black pepper and powdered schist. Concentrated on the palate, with a compact, tight-knit structure which gradually reveals sumptuous blackcurrant, plum and liquorice flavours, held in balance by a bolt of acidity and peppery tannins with Dow's trademark drier finish. The powerful, taut frame, with a cast iron backbone is an unmistakable feature of the great line of Dow's Vintage Port thoroughbreds stretching back more than two centuries. The verve and purity of fruit, accentuated by the fine acidity are quite remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that prices are in-bond and exclude VAT and duty, which are payable when the wines land or are released from our bonded warehouse. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fortified : Port","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57921222607222,"sku":"0001-7231","price":348.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/0215\/7464\/files\/large_Product_33762-Dow-Vintage-2024.jpg.0.jpg?v=1779287620","url":"https:\/\/www.tauruswines.co.uk\/products\/0001-7231","provider":"Taurus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
