Bill's. Non-vintage port bottled in 2003. All plums and spice, has matured well but it's by no means done.

Decanted 2 hours. 15% ABV listed on the label. The color is showing some slight bricking, but not as much as the 2004. Mostly soy on the nose. Pretty straight forward semi-dried cherries and some soy. Mostly resolved tannins, though a little does still pop up every so often as I've tasted this but it hasn't been consistent. There is noticeable spirit on the back palate and on the finish. A semi lengthy finish that is also just like the palate...straight forward. This doesn't show as advanced as the 2004 is. But this doesn't have the complexity it did in its youth and the 15% ABV is now showing as its entered its teenage years. I don't see this getting any better from here and I'd recommend enjoying them over the coming year or so.

No bricking. Deep clear garnet. Plum, spice and some cocoa on the nose. Tannins and acidity in perfect balance. Medium-bodied and nice finish. I think it's singing now. Sadly, my last bottle.

Very decent inexpensive Douro. Great price point for a big yummy red.

Monthly tasting club LTC 2013-03; French or not French? (@ My place): Ripe fruits and beautiful oak in the bouquet. On the palate concentrated dark fruits, a bit jammy with a lot of sweetness. Also still good tannin. Firm amount of alcohol. Overall a really good wine. Ready now. Probably wise to drink it this or next year.
