Notes - Selected by Sandeman for its classic and exceptional characteristics, Vintage 2003 Porto, a wine of a single year, will mature in bottle. Remarkable colour and concentrated nose, full and rich in the mouth and showing elegant potential, Sandeman 2003 Vintage exemplifies the Brand’s commitment to quality. The powerful intense aromas (blackberries, currants, plums, jam), characteristic of matured wines grown in the Upper Corgo region, are matched by a full-bodied palate and firm tannins. The 2003 is very concentrated and has the characteristics to evolve to its full maturity in bottle over the next 20 to 30 years, rounding out with elegant aromas and flavours, and growing in complexity. Sandeman Vintage 2003 Porto will naturally throw sediment in bottle over the coming years thus requiring careful decanting. Before opening, stand for 24 hours and then carefully remove the cork. Pour the clean wine into a fresh decanter, being sure to leave the sediment behind. Decanting will also let the wine breath.
