Beautiful deep color with brick red halo. Nose of good depth, sweet and harmonious, somewhat witty, rich, soft touches of dark chocolate and cherry (cherry tomato).
Harmonious and elegant wine, some quality structure with amazing spice and mint notes, very crisp fruit, soft. A very enjoyable Vintage Port, now with good tannins to carry it through to old age. Seems softer than usual.
Nose closing in. Lots of fruit, black currant and blackberry, really intense jam with cocoa notes and firm but silky tannins. A powerful Vintage Port. Quality ripe fruit, good expression, cherry, a lovely character.
The winter preceding the 2003 harvest was very wet. Flowering took place in late May, with warm and bright weather, in conditions considered to be one of the best in many years.
The first two weeks of August provided the intense summer heat that often precedes a great Vintage Port. The second half of August was cooler and two perfectly timed days of rain eventually favored the ripening of the grapes at the end of the month.
The harvest season in September was warm, dry and yields were uniform for all varieties, ensuring balance and complexity in the wines.
