1997 Quinta do Vesuvio
Posted: 14:30 Thu 05 Jan 2017
Brick red in colour, 90% opaque. Bottle stink on the nose, a taint which carries on into the palate. Stewed / baked fruit shows on the palate under the stink and is balanced with subdued tannins that dry the cheeks. Hot on the aftertaste with thin cherry juice and chewy dryness. Rather disappointing. 85/100.
