2000 Broadbent Port

I wouldn’t even have thought of opening a Port this young, but I have no problem offering an opinion when someone does! Dark, with a blackberry/plum nose, medium weight, not too sweet and medium length finish with some nice currant trailing notes. I wouldn't think this is a long haul wine, more a mid term ager, but surprisingly drinkable now.

spot on. Broadbent VP's have gotten better with each one. The 1997 is ready to go now and I wouldn't hold them too much longer. With the 2000 still with some upswing potential but nearing maturity in the coming 8-10 years. The 2003 is still young but does lack the overall body and structure of the big guns but with better aging potential than the 1997 and 2000.
