DOW'S VINTAGE PORT 1994

In the world of classic Port, Dow is one of the standouts. This great traditional Port shipper produces firmly structured examples of the form, typically drier than the wines from most other houses, with emphasis on balance and elegance rather than power and sweet fruit.

97 points Wine Spectator:

"A blackstrap, powerful Port. Black, with intense aromas of raspberries, raisins, flowers and stems. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a long, rich finish. Tannins pull at your palate. A wine for the future.

96 points Wine Advocate: "The massive 1994 is unquestionably the finest Dow I have tasted since the 1977. This opaque purple-colored wine is not as developed or flamboyant as Fonseca, but it is super-concentrated and multi-layered, with huge masses of fruit and some tannin in the finish. This is a slightly drier style than Fonseca or Graham's, but it appears to be a classic, majestic, enormously constituted 1994 that should age effortlessly for three decades or more. It is one of the stars of the vintage.
