This was in the early days of wineanorak, and I recall drinking quite a few of these. Now the 2003 vintage (a very good one for Port) is being sold at a special offer price of \u00a317 for a full bottle at Tescos (from an already competitive \u00a322, valid until Christmas). It&#8217;s a lovely Port, quite sweet in fruit profile, and worth a punt if you like the\u00a0sweeter\u00a0style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sandeman Vau Vintage Port 2003 Portugal<\/strong><br \/>\n20.5% alcohol. Intensely sweet and ripe with raspberry and blackberry fruit. Nice intensity here to the exotic, liqueur-like fruit. Very sweet with real appeal, and giving a lot of pleasure for current drinking. 90\/100 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tesco.com\/groceries\/product\/details\/?id=284743884\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a317 Tesco<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember the excitement of discovering that Oddbins were selling the 1997 version of this wine for just \u00a35 for a half bottle back in 2001.
