Some even with the potential to last over a hundred years. 2003 VINTAGE PORT - 2003 was a particularly hot, dry growing season, producing extremely ripe, opulent wines. Thankfully, the wet winter preceding the harvest meant the roots of the vines had good access to water reserves during extreme conditions. Enough reserves at least to last to the very welcome rain that hit the Baixo and Cima Corgo at the end of August. According to David Guimaraens, this was a textbook year for vintage port.
