Tasting Note

Deep purple with an opaque centre. Fresh, exuberant aromas of red and black fruits, mint and liquorice preface a broad palate of fruits of the forest with undertones of schist and firm, yet supple tannins. The well-toned structure combines sumptuous flavours with grip, ending with a long spicy finish.

Product Notes

Dow's LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) is a premium fortified wine that delivers rich and complex flavors. It is made from grapes harvested from a single year (vintage) and aged in oak barrels for a minimum of four years before bottling. This process results in a wine that is ready to drink upon release and can also be cellared for further aging. The Dow's LBV has a deep ruby color and aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture and flavors of ripe fruits, spices, and a hint of oak. The balanced acidity and tannins give this wine a lingering finish that is both elegant and satisfying. Overall, Dow's LBV is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a premium fortified wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for future consumption.

Dow’s has had the reputation of Upper Douro Valley’s finest Port for over two centuries. Building on the preceding Silva family and Dow family’s legacies, the current owners of Dow, the Symington family, bring with their ownership the experience of having worked in Dow’s vineyards at Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira and the Quinta dom Bomfin. The Symington family brings the legacy of creating intense and tannic concentrated wines with the DOW wines, which age elegantly and are scented with mint and violet aromas.
