30 Years Old Tawny
Dow's old Tawnies are well known for
their remarkable read more...raisiny, dried fruit
flavours, exquisite creamy texture and an
exceptionally long, lingering finish.
Dow’s 30 Years Old Tawny is made
exclusively from grapes sourced at “A”
classified vineyards (the highest), which
include Dow’s Quinta do Bomfim and
Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira, two of the
very best vineyards in the Douro valley.
This enviable position is reflected in the
excellent quality and consistency of the
style evident in Dow's 30 Years Old
Tawny.
Try serving lightly chilled in warm
weather.
Tasting Notes
This 30 Years Old Port is a beautifully
mature wine of great distinction. Pale and
delicate, it has superb complexity and
style. With a concentrated and nutty nose
and a full, fresh and lingering finish. It is a
very skilful blend, creating an excellent
balance between nutty oak and raisin fruit
flavours.
Alcohol by Volume: 20% v/v (20ºc)
Total Acidity: 5.81 g/l tartaric acid

- More like brown color, not ambar as I expected. The nose is much less complex than the last colheitas I tasted. You find walnuts, dried figs, honey and cinamon. Good balance but also behind the colheitas and the 10 year olds. It seems to me this is a little excessive time in wood. Expansive but with a sticky character, long finish. [91]
