    Wine:1994 Dow's Late Bottled Vintage
    Notes:I think I got a better bottle! Deep, deep ruby in color with not a hint of diminishment on the rim. Muted bouquet, very closed, but hinting of a powerful and balanced wine within. A powerful LBV, great balance and great depth and concentration of flavor. Deep dark fruits and plums. A modern style LBV, but still fresh. Great, much better than the Wine Spectator rating of 83. I wouldn’t rate it in the nineties, but the high eighties easily.
