More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
The 2003 vintage was declared by select Port houses, such as Jose Maria da Fonseca & Van Zeller. The conditions in their vineyards were clearly worthy of the Vintage Port designation, and this bottling offers eye-popping value. You can cellar this, but why wait? – it’s already starting to show beautifully. Look for aromas and flavours of ripe and dried fruit, mocha and vanilla. This sweet wine will still show a core of tannin, but it is smoothing out beautifully. Decant and enjoy with a fine Stilton.
