2003 Broadbent Vintage Port

Bottled by Niepoort. Original note was pop-n-pour, with an update 24 hrs later. Soft round red stone fruits. Lovely wisps of licorice and tobacco dance on the tongue. Tannins are more on the softer side at this point and has nice acidity keeping it lively and fresh. Medium complexity and finish. PnP, it's in a good spot to drink now and in the nearer term, say next 10 or so years. 89 Points. 24 hours later the tannins have become more pronounced and it's showing a slightly drier palate and finish than it did on opening. I wouldn't extend the drinking window assessment from 24 hours ago, but it has improved being opened and thus I will increase my score.
90 Points

Hmm... not sure I've had that one. I have 1994 and 2000 in my cellar and they're decent but not great. Probably pretty similar to the 90 points you've given this one.

I have some 2000 Broadbent LBV's (as does John M.) and they are excellent.
