Dow's 1998 Vintage Port Quinta Senhora Da Ribeira 75cl / 20%

A bottle of Dow's 1998 Quinta Senhora da Ribeira single quinta Vintage Port.

'Low yields produced potentially outstanding wines, prospects of a fully declared vintage dashed by rain during harvest; still very deep and youthful, opaque; not very expressive on the nose (just a phase in its evolution, I suspect); fine, dense, and tight knit, with some flesh, yet showing characteristic Dow austerity (2.95º Baumé), a dark-chocolate core (80% cocoa solids), and cast-iron tannins; big and solid with a fabulous, explosive finish.  Top-notch single-estate Port that would benefit from another 5 years in bottle. 18/20.' Richard Mayson, writing in 2012.
