1994 Quinta do Vesuvio

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A bottle from CMAG's Vesuvio 10th Anniversary Case, opened on Wednesday 13th February 2019.

Bottle number 43201. Deep red with a medium rim. Little showing on the nose, surprisingly closed. Smooth and elegant entry. A touch of bottle stink shows on the palate. Lots of tannins show in the sweet fruit, ripe but still in need of more time; rich and delicious. Long, sweet and with a lovely finish — very long, even fabulous. 94/100. 13-Feb-19. Decanted 4 hours.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
