Liquid gorgeous! Accessible far earlier than vintage port. Dow's is owned by the famous Symington family , the vice regals of port otherwise known as Symington Family Estates. Perfect as a dessert on its own or with Black Forest cake.

Port food pairings: Roquefort, Cheddar, Stilton cheese, dark chocolate-themed desserts, crème brûlée, variety of nuts.

Reviews and Ratings

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Dow’s LBV is a full rich Port with spicy ripe fruit flavours and an elegant aromatic nose. It is well rounded on the palate and has the traditional Dow’s drier finish which makes it one of the finest LBV Ports available

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Le Dow’s LBV est un porto riche et complet avec des saveurs de fruits murs épicés et un nez aromatique élégant. Il est bien rond au palais avec le fini plus sec traditionnel de Dow’s, ce qui en fait l’un des meilleurs portos LBV sur le marché

Late Bottled Vintage or LBV Port offers tremendous value with much of the signature flavours and depth of vintage port. - Community Wine reviews
