The Story

One of the Douro Valley’s finest vineyards, Bomfim is the heart of some of the company’s greatest Ports, having provided wines for Dow’s Vintage Ports ever since it was acquired in 1896. The estate is situated in the centre of the best wine-producing area known as the ‘Cima Corgo’, which offers an ideal balance between the relatively wet ‘Baixo Corgo’ to the west and the intense heat of the ‘Douro Superior’ to the east.

Written Notes

Much drier in style than many to date and the sweetness seems more to come from the richness of the fruit left here. Cocoa powder, figs, leather, dark fruits, chocolate, ripe plums. This has very good length and is drinking very nicely now. 93.
