"Very dark opaque ruby-purple color. It's floral nose which also displays black cherry, blackberry and obvious notes of chocolate coming to the fore. After trying this a few times, I poured a glass for my wife to try and she sipped, smiled and responded, 'At first, all of these young ones seemed so different than the Vintage Ports we normally drink. This is so incredibly good, which is it?' I think she's onto something. This Dow is atypically sweet 3.7 Baume, it is so big and dense in the mouth, it literally packs a fruit filled wallop. This infant is deftly balanced, with a concentrated intensity and underlying covert tannic structure. It has all the stuffing not only to age for many decades, but to wind up in the very upper echelon of this fine vintage. I have never enjoyed a very young Dow as much as this one. A fabulous 'benchmark' Port for the ages."

Wine Spectator (95 points):
"Offers a hedonistic experience, with notes of coffee can bread, ganache and sweet tobacco, plus steeped plum, blackberry and açaí berry fruit. Supported by a tarry swath, the finish has an old-school echo, thanks to a warm accent. Solid. Best from 2025 through 2043."
