I thought this was a staggering example of port. Dow's style tends to be more backward but this opaque black/purple-colored wine reveals a huge powerful intense palate with gobs of flesh and viscous fruit. There is considerable tannin in the finish. It is a massive port with no indication of excessive alcohol in the finish. A magnificent young dry-styled vintage port that just goes on and on in the mouth it should last for 20-30 years. The single Quinta ports are just as spectacular as any vintage port I tasted from 1983 or 1985.
