Full-bodied, rich but perfectly balanced with soft, peppery tannins and with a fine acidity that ensure perfect balance on the palate. The classic Dow's dry finish is always present in the house's LBV; it is one of the finest LBV Ports available.

A wine of a single year but it is not a "declared" Vintage Port. Whereas Vintage Port spends only two years in oak cask and then matures in bottle, LBV is aged in seasoned oak casks and then bottled, when it is between four and six years old. At the time of bottling, Dow's LBV has completed its maturation and is ready for drinking without the need for decanting.

Dow's LBV has consistently won more awards that most other LBV Ports on the market and has earned a reputation for excellence.
