The Dow 1920 Vintage Port, shipper unknown but almost definitely English, has a pale tawny/tuile hue. The nose is showing its age, creaking at the seams a little with grilled walnut and wood varnish coming immediately to mind, a little dustiness that recedes with time and reveals a faint minty scent. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasing weight, a subtle caramel-like sweetness evident toward the finish that feels a little dry and austere, a touch feral compared to the 1920 Warre tasted alongside. I suspect this is simple a Vintage Port that is just long in tooth, yet that signature structure and masculinity of Dow is still present. Tasted May 2015.
