Dow`s Vintage 1966 is a fortified wine produced in the esteemed Douro Valley of Portugal. Known for its concentration and complexity, this wine exhibits dark fruit aromas intertwined with subtle hints of dried figs and spices. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with firm tannins, alongside flavours of chocolate and treacle. The finish is long, reflecting the wine`s age and the intricacies developed over time.

Dow’s 1966 Vintage Port is a gorgeous example of the year, offering intense, deeply concentrated cherry liqueur, toffee, candied fig, maple syrup, datecake and membrillo qualities and a vibrant, spicy overtone. Silky and seamless in texture and finely detailed, it seduces with its balance and elegance rather than opulence and power, fully in keeping with the house style. Its intense sweetness is mitigated by its sharp delineation and energy. I have no doubt that it will outlive 1962-vintage people like me. Its a wonderfully flexible Port to serve with all sorts of not-too-sweet, savory desserts and, especially, mild cow’s milk blue cheeses.Josh Raynolds1st October 2020
