Dows 多斯波特酒品鉴指南

多斯酒庄于两个世纪前1798年创立，是葡萄牙当地最早的英国波特酒制造商，多斯家族精心挑选上等的庄园，而多斯酒庄也成为当时最有名的波特酒庄。

1912年，在该行业工作了25年的苏格兰人Andrew Symington成为了Dow's的合伙人。如今，该公司由Symington家族的第四代人100％拥有和管理，后者是葡萄牙杜罗河谷地区最大的土地所有者，占地4,000英亩。Robert Parker的著作“Parker's Wine Buying Guide”中有写到“Rating Portugal's Producers of Port…Dow Five Star *****(Outstanding)”(葡萄牙波特酒的评分—Dow's 多斯波特酒—五颗星(杰出)。Dow's 的波特酒以相对少甜但却强劲属老派英国风味而闻名，Dow's的波特酒发酵时间稍长一点，才加进白兰地停止发酵，让葡萄中的糖分被酵母消化多一点，酒的甜味稍低，以突显酒的强劲和深厚。

酒庄102岁高龄年份波特酒获近乎满分好评 James Suckling 98/ 100分

James Suckling, one of today's leading authorities on Vintage Port was equally impressed by another legendary wine - the Dow's 1896 - “The ancient {1896} Ports till had an amazing ruby colour with a garnet edge, and it smelled of raisins, black pepper and berries. It was full-bodied, with masses of fruit intertwined with layers of velvety tannins. It was superb.” In 1998, when this wine was 102 years old, he awarded this Port an exceptional 98 points.

Dow's 的Tawny port都在 Vila Nova de Gaia 宽敞的酒窖中陈年，那里适度的沿海气候使葡萄酒达到均衡的陈酿过程中起著关键作用。杜罗河（Douro）的众多 Tawny Port 往往透过夏季的高温而获得强烈的焦糖味

Dow's Tawny Port 茶色波特酒绝对是酿酒和调酒艺术的终极体现。只有对杜罗河产区具有丰富经验和知识的品酒师才能通过在Dow's地窖中极丰富的藏酒量中调配出最顶级和精准的Tawny Port. Dow's 调酒师将橡木桶中陈酿多年的葡萄酒打造成精选最优质的葡萄酒，并形成这些伟大的陈年 Tawny Port。

Dow's 位于地窖中陈存多年的 Tawny Port 都需要定期品尝。每年都需要不时地对葡萄酒进行 Racking ，将葡萄酒从其“酒糟”（酒桶底部形成的自然沉淀物）中抽出，然后将酒倒回到干净的酒桶中。多年来精心照料，并在老化过程中，充满活力的年轻波特酒逐渐成熟，并成为复杂但精致的Tawny Port，并获得了经典的茶色，因此而得名。

Dow's 的 Tawny Port 比其他品牌都更 Dry ，尽管它们保留了所有波特酒的经典风味。在历代 Port 酒的生产商中，广为人知的是，生产干身的Tawny Port 比生产甜型的 Tawny Port 困难得多。甜味可以掩盖任何不太平衡的葡萄酒，但会使最终的Blending 显得比较凝结，令人不愉快。但Dows 的Tawny Port 比其他更 Dry 。这使酿酒师的工作更加艰巨，但最终装瓶的葡萄酒却更出色，这也是Dow's 的 Old Tawny Ports 长期以其独特的风格和品质赢得全球众多奖项的原因。

"20 Years" indicates and average age – this Aged Tawny Port is a blend of older wines, which offer complexity and younger wines, which bring fresh fruit flavors and vibrancy. During their long maturing period in oak casks, Aged Tawnies undergo subtle color changes: the deep red hue which characterizes Port's youth gradually gives way to a paler golden amber color. Dow's is known for its characteristically drier house style. This 20 Year has a full, nutty bouquet, concentrated, citrus, almond and caramel notes on the palate and a lingering finish. Many consider the 20 Year to be the perfect blend of complexity and vibrant fruit when it comes to Aged Tawny.
