Dow's Vintage Port - 1985 (750ml) Size:750ml the 2005 Chardonnay boasts copiousThis is an extraordinary house that seems to have been particularly successful with its vintage port since 1977. The 1985 is dark ruby purple with a rather closed one dimensional aroma. On the palate, this Dow is restrained, but rich, tannic, and full bodied, yet not nearly as concentrated as one would expect. Have I missed something? Robert Parker 87 points
