Dow’s 2020 Late Bottled Vintage Port showcases a generous fruit profile shaped by an exceptionally hot growing season. Rich blackberry and blackcurrant aromas mingle with dark chocolate, wildflowers, and subtle hints of pine and eucalyptus. The palate combines lush fruit with peppery tannins and refreshing mineral character, finishing in the comparatively dry style that distinguishes Dow’s. Matured in seasoned oak vats and bottled ready to enjoy, it makes a satisfying after-dinner pour alongside chocolate desserts or cheese.
