Description and Reviews:
Dow 1960 Vintage Port is a remarkable survivor from one of the classic mid-century harvests, showing the hallmark intensity and structure that define the house style. Now over six decades old, it has softened into a wine of extraordinary elegance, yet still carries the deep, brooding character that Dow is known for.
In the glass, it displays a mature tawny-garnet core with a wide amber rim. The nose is beautifully evolved: dried fig, orange peel, old cedar, tobacco leaf and warm spices, layered with hints of rosewood and caramelised nuts. There is a quiet complexity here that only true vintage maturity can provide.
The palate is graceful and silky, with sweet dried fruits, mellow spice, walnut, and soft cocoa tones. The once-powerful tannins have resolved completely, leaving a long, warming finish lifted by Dow’s signature dry edge. It holds together with impressive poise for its age, offering a refined and contemplative drinking experience.
Perfect for special occasions or collectors seeking a genuine piece of Port history. Best enjoyed lightly decanted to remove sediment and served at cellar temperature. This is a rare chance to experience a fully mature Dow from a classic vintage—rich in character, beautifully balanced, and unforgettable.
