Product information

Dow's "Vintage" port Vintage: 2003. Producer: Dow's, port. Total volume: 750 ml.

Original notes from Leon Gommers — Dutch

Let op: de laatste 4 flessen. 2003 was een erg warm jaar door heel Europa heen, voor de Douro lag het echter maar iets boven het gemiddelde met maar 3 dagen van 42 graden. de resterende dagen was het rond de 35 graden met 's nachts temperaturen rond de 20 graden. Voor Dow's was het perfect dat in november en december 2002 en januari 2003  maar liefst 676mm. regen viel op Quinta do Bomfim, dit kwam gedurende  hete zomer en nazomer van 2003 erg goed van pas.  Charles Symington schreef in zijn proefnotitie dat de port iets droger is als de meeste andere huizen met tonen van bittere chocolade en zwarte peper. Volgens Charles een port om lang te bewaren in de stijl van 1955,1966 en 1980.
