2003 Sainsbury

2003 Sainsbury TTD
Brought round as a gift by the neighbours to go with some cheese, so just an emergency 45 minute minute decant. I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Very (dark) fruit forward as you would expect, and while the tannins were powerful they managed to be just grippy without being offensive. There was surprisingly little heat as well. All in all very nicely integrated and smooth without the simple "boozy jam" profile I often associate with young port.

Oh I should add; the bottle and cork were branded Symington. No more details.
