Winery's Notes
"An exceptionally good viticultural year produced this wonderful Vintage Port with intense and complex aromas of ripe red and black fruits combined with rockrose. Powerful and full-bodied with ripe tannins, the 2003 has rich fruit and layers of bitter chocolate with Dow’s characteristic dry and peppery finish."
Vintage: 2003
Bottled: 2005
Released: 2024 (19 years in bottle at the winery)
95 Points - Wine Spectator
"Offers a hedonistic experience, with notes of coffee can bread, ganache and sweet tobacco, plus steeped plum, blackberry and açaí berry fruit. Supported by a tarry swath, the finish has an old-school echo, thanks to a warm accent. Solid. Best from 2025 through 2043. 8,500 cases made, 2,500 cases imported." -JM, 12/11/23
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"As always, two vineyards form the backbone of this superb Port: Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira. The result is power, while the wine's black fruits are subsumed into richness and a balance between sweet dried fruits and the dryness from the spirit. It is a great wine, intense and ready to drink." -RV, 12/31/25
