Balance and power are important characteristics of the Dow 1963. Impressive garnet/ruby color, with aromas of blackberries, and hints of honey. On the palate, opulent fruit flavors, complex, plenty of rich tannins and a long finish. 1963 is one of the greatest vintage Ports of the 20th Century.
Long summers, brutally hot temperatures, and steep hillsides that range from thirty five to seventy degrees of inclination are what awaits the brave souls who decided to grow grapes and craft wine in this part of the world. As Karen McNeil summarizes "that vineyards are planted in the Douro is a testament to human will, for this is one of the most unmerciful environments in which grapes manage to grow." Many winemakers will often comment that the more the grape vines have to struggle, the better character the wine will display. Wines from the Douro have an awful lot of character!
