Dow’s has absolutely revamped its labels with this LBV Port launch, choosing a darkish label in lieu of the white label we noticed in 2016 and prior. As anticipated, nevertheless, these modifications imply little for what’s within the bottle, which stays a daring investigation into varied flavors of chocolate-covered cherries, plump raisins, and a sliver of orange peel so as to add nuance.
I’d recommend that citrus contact makes it barely elevated over the 2016 providing and extra consistent with 2015‘s, right here once more exhibiting a touch of candied violet on the fade-out. Dow’s LBV is commonly described as “partaking however easy,” however this expression shifts the needle within the path of complexity. It stays a finest worth within the Port world (although the worth is ticking up).
