921. Quinta do Noval, Nacional Vintage Port, 2003
[Faint signature: António Agrellos] My first Nacional, courtesy of an MW student trip to the Douro. The range-tasting at Noval was very special, with …
823. Perillo di Romano, Taurasi Riserva, 2003
Nice to spend some time on a Taurasi Aglianico, rather than just at a tasting. Mid-deep garnet, with quite a broad rim. Complex, savoury …
698. Domaine de la Janasse, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 2003
Wine of the night. Coming into maturity – of tannins and flavour intensity – yet still showing pure fruit at the core. And very …
668. Cuvée du Vatican, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve Sixtine, 2003

568. Nyetimber, Classic Cuvée Brut England, 2003
At last! And it delivered too! After the heat of the 2003 summer, which spoiled Champagne, I’d wanted to see what the best of …
563. D’Angelo, Aglianico del Vulture Riserva Caselle, 2003
Definitely like Aglianico del Vulture. This was good to very good, though at the peak of its existence, and slightly overoaked. Medium garnet with …
