93 Points, Wine Spectator - A beautiful young Port, with raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, yet reserved and refined. Superfine tannins. Very long. Best young Vintage Port from Royal Oporto.

88 Points, Wine Enthusiast - Once a byword for indifferent Ports, Royal Oporto has totally revamped its winemaking, and this 2003 vintage is the result. It is dark and dry, with layers of firm fruit. Flavors of black figs give a lift to the Port.
