Vintage Port
Very Good Condition

Dow’s 1945 Port is a legendary vintage, celebrated for its exceptional quality and historical significance as the first major vintage declaration after World War II. The 1945 growing season in Portugal’s Douro Valley produced wines of remarkable concentration and balance, laying the foundation for this port's enduring reputation. Known for its elegance, it exhibits rich flavors of dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, and spices, complemented by a complex bouquet of dark fruits, caramel, and subtle herbal notes. With firm tannins and balanced acidity, it exemplifies the extraordinary aging potential of vintage ports, remaining vibrant and drinkable even today. …

Colheita Port, DOC Douro

Reviews
"This brings back a fond memory of a long lost friend, Paul Napolitano from NY. He once opened this identical Port for me years ago at his home and at the time, it was the finest Colheita I had experienced, as well as the oldest. This one was bottled in 1976 or 1977.

A nose of bouillon cube, scents of sea breeze and toffee, reminiscent of a Malvasia and the richness and supple spine live up to that mindset. The palate is packed with copious caramel and fig flavors along with prunes and toffee intricately woven into a neat little package. …
