About this Item

1984, 1986 Cockburn's, Dow's
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Cockburn's Late Bottled Vintage 1986 (1 x 750ml)
This port is the wine of a single vintage from the same Quintas which produce the renowned Cockburn's vintages. It has however been kept in wood for longer than a vintage port and thus has softened and become ready for drinking earlier. As with vintage port, this bottle may form a sediment or crust: in which case it should be decanted in the normal way.

Dow's Late Bottled Vintage 1984 (1 x 750ml)
Since 1798 Dow's Port has been produced from grapes grown in the finest valley of the Upper Douro in Northern Portugal. Still an independent family firm. Dow's continues its tradition of devotion to quality. Dow's Late Bottled Vintage comes from the same vineyards that in outstanding years produce the renowned Vintage Ports. It is however matured in wood and, while retaining the fullness of Vintage Port, is bottled ready for immediate drinking and requires no decanting.
