Dow's Vintage 1983

Notes - Vintage Ports are only produced or 'declared' in years of exceptional quality and represent a very small percentage (2 - 3%) of total Port production. The backbone of Dow's Vintage Ports are drawn from the companies' finest vineyards, Quinta do Bomfim and Senhora da Riberia, each property contributing to the wines unique character and class. Aged in wood for approximately 2 years and bottled unfiltered, Dow Vintage Ports are considered to be amongst the finest Vintage Ports produced. These fine wines can be enjoyed young and vibrant or allowed to aged for many years in bottle, developing their very own style, very different from all wood aged Ports. 1983 was a small vintage but produced very good ports. Tasting Notes - “…very ripe and round and lively with a certain freshness and punch. Long and powerful. Looking good for the future, a confident wine”. Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 14th October 2004,17.5 Points. “The 1983 is rich, concentrated, very fruity, and magnificently perfumed…” Robert Parker, 2005, 90 out of 100 Points.
