Description

Each bottle comes packed inside a Dow's branded wooden gift box, Dows has been family owned for over 200 years. We also offer a wine bottle engraving service, making an ideal Christmas present that will be treasured forever. Dows Fine Ruby Port is the youngest of the Dow’s wood-aged Ports, having been aged approximately 3 years in oak cask.

The company's dedication to traditional winemaking techniques and their commitment to sourcing only the finest grapes from the Douro Valley has helped them to create some of the world's most sought-after port wines. Rich caramel in colour, there’s a little warming spice, a hint of tobacco, some stewed red fruit and a touch of honey. The old vines are very low-yielding, producing on average less than 1Kg of grapes each, giving intense and concentrated musts which are ideal for classic Vintage Port. A long and narrow but small country, Portugal claims considerable diversity in climate and wine styles, with milder weather in the north and significantly more rainfall near the coast.An oily cheese is an obvious match, but we’re also partial to sipping this slightly chilled, alongside a mince pie. Fresh, fleshy grape, dark cherry and fig flavors melded with underpinnings of licorice, chocolate and warming spirit. The style, which has some similarities to a tawny, is aged in wood for a minimum of seven years before being bottled. The acidity was near perfect and the tannins are tame but omnipresent; while the finish was spicy, warm and extremely long. His became the first and only Port company to transport its precious cargo of casks of fine Ports under its own armed protection across the treacherous Bay of Biscay, a strong dissuasion to attack during a period when less audacious companies saw their sales dwindle away.

Dow’s attractive and distinctive drier finish is the recognizable hallmark of the wines from this great Port house. It is more compact, a bit more standoffish compared to some of the other single quinta 2018s that I tasted.

If you want to take your time, bed down deep into an arm chair, and snuggle up away from the cold, then the Ramos Pinto RP20 20 year old tawny port is truly worth taking your time over.
