2003 Churchill vintage port
Mid-red colour, red rim and opaque centre. Bottle stink on the nose. Thin entry and an acidic attack, tannins dominate the thin fruit. Big and chewy finish, full of tannin. Overall this feels unbalanced and cannot be a representative bottle. Whether this was representative or not was asked of the people manning the table, but Johnny Graham was elsewhere so the answers were vague. Not rated.
Top Ports in 2018 (so far): Niepoort VV (1960's Bottling), Quinta do Noval Nacional 1994 and San Leonardo Very Old White (Bottled 2018)
2017 Ports of the year: Fonseca 1927 and Quinta do Noval 1927

This doesn't appear to have a good reputation...
