Wednesday, February 26, 2020 - Tasted blind in Vintage Port of the 60's and 70's event with Winetasters of Toronto Club
1966 Dow Porto Vintage was floral, nutty and spicy. The mature vintage port was medium tawny in colour. On the nose, there were walnuts, cashew, cinnamon and baking spices, followed by violets, lavender and prunes. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, medium-sweet, and intensely spicy. There were balanced medium levels of acidity and mature tannin. There were flavours of figs, herbs nuts and a touch of saltiness in the long painfully powerful finish.
It was voted the third among the guests at the table and among the entire group.
