Enticing aromas of blackcurrant and
blackberry with undertones of black
chocolate are followed by secondary notes of
rock rose – a Douro wildflower – and forest
elements suggesting pine needles and a hint
of resin and eucalyptus. Typical Dow
peppery tannins on the palate go hand in
hand with a schist, earthy character lifted by
mineral-like freshness. Fuller, more generous
fruit than is typical for Dow, reflecting the
year’s hotter profile.
