BUY THE WINE

Richard Mayson: Deep, opaque; lovely, rich, dark-chocolate aromas, open and opulent, floral (Touriga Nacional), with minty ripeness; initially, this seems very rich and sweet for Dow (a characteristic of the vintage, perhaps), fleshy and opulent, with a big tannic backbone and bittersweet dark-chocolate length and concentration. Another very impressive wine for the medium to long term: 2020–35. 18
