Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes…

When young, Bomfim wines are purple-black, complex and intensely concentrated; they are characterised by very fine peppery tannins. Over the centuries, the winemakers at Bomfim have evolved a style that suits this particular vineyard; fermentations are a little longer, resulting in the slightly drier Port style that has become the hallmark of Dow’s.

Dow’s Quinta do Bomfim tantalises with its lovely vanilla scented oak, violets, mulberries and winter fruit cake spices. Luscious bouquet which has everything in perfect harmony. Classic style, mighty full body and flavours, fair acidity fleshed out with wonderfully ripe fruit and sweet spice. Although this port already drinks well now, it will age much longer.

We say…

This vintage (2001) is showing steady improvement with age, gaining the following awards:

2013 International Wine & Spirit Competition – Silver Outstanding

2013 International Wine Challenge – Silver

2012 Decanter World Wine Awards – Silver

2012 International Wine & Spirit Competition – Gold

2012 International Wine Challenge – Silver

2011 Decanter World Wine Awards – Commended

Verum Seleccion de Familia Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes…

Classic elements of Cabernet Franc on the nose including wild strawberry, blackberry, pencil shavings and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. This is riper than a typical old world Cabernet Franc and does not show too much greenness, instead offering more body and depth of fruit and a slight touch of herbal mint. The fuller bodied palate is elegant with firm tannins but a vital balancing acidity. Cedar notes show from the use of French oak and the finish is dominated by bright red fruit and mocha spice.

Price range: £134.00 through £265.50

Karim Mussi Abras Malbec

Tasting Notes…

Fresh plums, violets, blueberry, crushed-stone and mineral aromas on the nose lead to a fresh and brightly fruited, full-bodied palate with firm, silky tannins.

Price range: £131.50 through £260.50

Algodon Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes…

Vanilla, mocha and dark fruits fill the enticing nose.  The palate is rich and offers a fuller style of Pinot but retains elegance.  The palate is smooth with dark cherries, sandalwood and creamy vanilla flavours.

We say…

This is superbly textured Pinot Noir.
