Round, ripe, attractive nose. Nice and fresh. Good weight…Rich, composed and very elegant…it is very long and harmonious. Very classy. Score: 18/20 Clive Coates
he firmly-structured, moderately tannic, impressively colored and concentrated 1991 [Dow's] Vintage Port is less precocious and more reserved than the 1992 Quinta do Bomfim Vintage Port. It may develop along the lines of the stern but powerful 1977. The wine offers a classic display of black fruits, licorice, and chocolate aromas and flavors, as well as a full-bodied, muscular style with considerable tannin and firmness. Give it 10-12 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30+. Drink: 2005-2037. Score: 90/100 Robert Parker
