This is really glorious and refined, offering a polished and creamy texture. Complex aromas and flavors with cream, dried fruit and nuts. Medium body. Very beautiful. A refined and glorious 1977 now. Real deal.

This is an extraordinary house that seems to have been particularly successful with its vintage port since 1977.The 1977, still a baby, is fabulously scented, very rich and concentrated, and has a potential longevity of at least another 30-50 years. (RP)

Medium brick-red. Aromas of coffee, prune and milk chocolate. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a licorice, berry, custard and cream character. Firm and racy. Long and delicious. Firm and beautiful. Just ready now. (JS)

Pale fox-red with a mass of black sediment off which it was decanted three hours before serving, having been stood up for at least the hour recommended by Paul Symington. This wine is now quite delicate with toasty notes of cookies and prunes. Deserves to be savoured but I don't regret having opened the majority of bottles in the case of a dozen I laid down so many years ago. 18/20 points (JR)
Notes
The Dow's Vintage 1977 was released with some bottles bearing a special edition label to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, but the wine is the same with or without the special label.
