Dow's Port Late Bottled Vintage 2012

Ruby style port from a single year but bottled later as the name indicates. Stored on large oak casks and bottled in 2018. 20% alcohol. Deep dark ruby ​​red color and a complex nose with layers of chocolate cherry ripe fruit raisin caramel. In taste it is powerful but also extremely elegant with lots of balanced sweetness and a light tannic bite. The flavors include chocolate fig raspberries cherry brown sugar prune licorice honey vanilla.

Fresh blackberries and boysenberries...weighty but not overly heavy body. Dried figs, chokecherry, prune and no oak. A good medium-plus dose of fruit tannin.
