1999 Dow's Quinta Senhora Da Ribeira Vintage Porto Porto

Description

Dow's Quinta Senhora da Ribeira is a fresh, elegant and floral Vintage, with violet aromas characteristic of this estate's terroir, along with notes of rockrose (esteva), a flower typical of the Douro. The rich, ripe flavours of black fruit fill the palate, with juicy tannins complementing the fruit, providing balance and structure. For more than two centuries, the name Dow's has been synonymous with one of the finest Port wines. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the Symington family generations have worked the Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira, creating from these vineyards wines that are superbly concentrated and intense, and tannic when young. With ageing, elegance and perfume emerge, with aromas of violet and mint. The drier finish is the distinctive hallmark of the wines of this great Port house.
