Grape Varieties: Old Vines Tasting Notes: For many the perfect age for a great Tawny Port. The vibrant purple colour of a great young Port has softened to a delicate green-gold after 20 long years in seasoned oak casks under the watchful eye of the master blender and the Dow’s head lodge man. On the palate, Dow’s Twenty Years Old Tawny is perfectly balanced, with notes of dried nuts and spice. One of the greatest wines a Port blender can make. Store and Serve Advices: Serving temperature at 15ºC to 16 ºC Food Pairing: The great Tawny Ports of Dow’s are particularly good when drunk slightly chilled in warmer weather.
