Anything but Port, this includes all wines other than fortified wines (which have their own section) even if they call themselves Port. There is a search facility for this part of the forum.

2003 Sainsbury Own Label vintage Champagne

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

From Duval Leroy.

Pale in colour; modest nose, with some sweet grapiness showing. Light body, with an off-putting bitterness to the core; bitter and dry fruit. Long finish, dominated by bitter grapefruit. Drunk way too young - give it another 10 years to mellow. 85/100.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
