Dow's Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port 1987

Dow's Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port 1987: From a half bottle. An attractive colour - deep red-brown, with maturity apparent especially at the rim. On the nose this wine has figgy, woody, spirity aromas. Quite full and rich on the palate, mouth-filling, creamy even once held on the palate, but with evident alcohol as well. Structured, quite sweet, with plenty of power especially on the finish. This has matured considerably more than the equivalent 75 cl bottle. 16.5/20 (1/11/03)
