Description

A wine of exceptional quality made with the best grapes of a single harvest. A Vintage declaration occurs when producers believe that all conditions are gathered to release the highest standard of quality. On average, fully declared 2 to 3 times per decade, the wine must be bottled between the 2nd and 3rd year after the harvest. A wine built to age for decades reaching full maturity after 20 to 40 years of bottle aging.

Tasting Notes

An extremely fine wine with great depth of structure, and many layers of ripe blackberry fruit. The very hot and dry summer of 2003 created intensity and concentration. An elegant, nicely weighted and balanced Vintage Port.
