Made in a sweet, open-knit, precocious style, Delaforce's 2000 reveals a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet, accessible black cherry/blackberry fruit with hints of smoke, earth, and truffles.

Ramos Pintos Port Vintage 2003
Wonderful aromas of crushed blackberries and currants. Full-bodied, with round, ripe tannins and fabulously rich fruit. Medium sweet and gripping. Ramos-Pinto's best ever. Best after 2014. 1,625 cases made. JS” Rated 94, Wine Spectator The wine is big, full, opulent and super-ripe. But the tannins are also there, giving a dark, brooding edge, which comes through powerfully on the finish. This is the best vintage yet from this Roederer-owned house. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA. — R.V. (11/15/2005) - Rated 94, Wine Enthusiast
This is the most recent classic Sandeman Vintage. A deep ruby colour, very well balanced, rich and intense aromas, very complex fruit and in the mouth elegant tannins. The wine will complete its maturity in bottle over the next two decades developing elegant aromas and ever-greater concentration.
