Vintage Port 2003

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“It shows a black colour and a salty, graphite-laced nose full of sweet black fruits. Full-bodied, enormously dense, enormously rich and thick, this behemoth is also amazingly balanced and harmonious. The endless finish reveals additional notes of chocolate, kirsch, red and black currants, dark cherries and rose blossoms.” - Pierre Rovani, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98+/100 (Oct 2005)

“Inky purple in color, this youngest Taylor vintage Port boasts a floral, wonderfully open and appealing bouquet, backed by layers of rich fruit. What makes this wine extra special is the seductive texture – somewhere between creamy and syrupy – and ample length.” - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast, 97/100 (Jan 2007)
