A wine built to age for decades reaching full maturity after 20 to 40 years of bottle aging.

Tasting Notes

A great classic Vintage, legendary, small in quantity but outstanding in quality. General declaration. Dow's 45 is one of the best wine post WW2, notes of sherry, figs, chocolate, spices, with tremendous complexity and richness.
