Dow's

An evolved, less massive style than normal, the 1997 Dow's displays a dark ruby/purple color, attractive licorice, chocolate and roasted coffee aromas, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and a moderately tannic finish. This top-flight vintage port should drink well between 2004-2025.

Wine Enthusiast

Mouthfilling and round, without any sharp edges, but this wine remains extremely firm and dense, with several decades of life ahead of it. Dried fig, chocolate and black licorice flavors only hint at what lies ahead.

Score: 94. March 01, 2008.

Wine Spectator

Blackberry and plum character. Full-bodied, velvety and balanced. Lovely velvety tannins, sweet and long. Soft-textured yet fresh and racy. A beauty. This is would be better with a little more age, but already pretty. '77/'85/'97 blind Port retrospective. Best after 2009.

Score: 94. —James Suckling, 2008.

Wine Advocate

An evolved, less massive than normal port, the 1997 Dow's displays a dark ruby/purple color, attractive licorice, chocolate, and roasted coffee aromas, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and a moderately tannic finish. This excellent vintage port should drink well between 2004-2025.

Score: 90. —Robert Parker, January 2000.
