2003 Gould Campbell vintage port
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2013 3:33 am
As I have over the last three years been more and more impressed by this brand of especially 1983 vintage, but also recently 1977 vintage, I decided to study som younger Gould Campbell vintages. Purchased a bottle of 2003 GC vintage for testing, and will buy more for consuming/storing.
Decanted 10.5 hrs. Deep dark red. Subdued aroma of dark red berries, then a lot of spices and some smoked meat. Full body. Smooth/elegant, then more power, nice tannins, a bit spirit towards the end. Medium length aftertaste. A very nice and interesting vintage port to drink. Overall a bit sweet. 93 pts.
