Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92 Points  A fine, classic Dow nose with notes of cloves, raisin and a touch of fig. Not incredibly complex but refined and inviting. The palate is sweet and fleshy, again cloves, red-berried fruit, a touch of spice...

Wine Spectator: 95 Points  Now we are talking. Wow. Aromas of licorice, flowers and crushed blackberries. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with lovely smooth, fine tannins and a long, sweet fruit finish. Greatest young Vintage Port of Smith...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97 Points  The 2004 Quinta do Noval Nacional has a show-stopping bouquet that is cut from a completely different cloth than the 2004 Vintage. This is far more extravagant and decadent, with kirsch, camphor, incense and...

Wine Enthusiast 96 Points:An impressive, balanced wine from master winemaker Dirk van Niepoort. Chocolate and licorice flavors dominate the fruit, giving a wine that has weight, complexity and at the same time elegance. The tannins offer a dense, dry...

Winemaker Notes:On the nose very intense, brimming with concentrated aromas of ripe fruits such as cassis, combined with rockrose and peppery spice. On the palate, very powerful and full bodied, fresh and well structured, packed with flavors of black...

Winemaker Note:Elegance, harmony, finesse and elegance characterize Noval's greatest Vintage Ports, which are declared only in great years (3 or 4 in a decade) and only when the wines come up to Noval's exacting standards. The wine is produced...

Winemaker's Note:Deep purple in color, this wine shows an extraordinary intensity of wild fruit aromas, elegant cocoa notes and delicate spice hints. The same intensity is found on the palate, with excellent volume and a compact structure made up of...

Winemaker's Note:A powerhouse of a wine with fresh, dark fruit aromas, rounded off with some lovely esteva (rockrose) and violets fragrance. Taught and muscular in the mouth with good grip from the schist tannins. Long and intense with superb structure...

Dow’s is known for producing ports of intensity and focus from their two quintas, Bomfim and Ribeira. In 2016, these two parcels came together to create a wine with effusive black fruit, obvious minerality and floral undertones; finishing with...

#14 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018 Nearly half the Warre’s 2016 is made up of old, mixed vines from both Cavadinha and Retiro. In sections of these vineyards, as many as 30 to 40 different varieties are planted together, and at Retiro they are...

Producer's Note:Dow's Fine White is made primarily at the Quinta do Sol winery. Only traditional white grape varieties from the Douro valley are used. Dow's Fine White was 100% fermented off the skins and using temperature control so that fermentation...

This is a total spice box; more so than any other 2016 Vintage Port in house. Black pepper, ginger, clove, anise, orange peel, cinnamon and fruit cake notes were so beautifully entwined with plum, blackberry, violet, lavender and chocolate...
