1994 Quinta do Vesuvio
Posted: 00:28 Fri 20 Jun 2008
Consumed at The 1st Anniversary Virtual Off-line.
Decanted at 00:05 BST on 20 June 2008.
Bottle No. 30,323 out of 76 pipes or about 51,000 bottles
Deep ruby red colour. The room filled with the smell of blackberrys while decanting. No sediment to speak of left the bottle when turned upright into a funnel despite the fact that this bottle was decanted 2 minutes after being stood upright. A small amount of thick crusty stuff came out when the bottle was rinsed.
Quite green and raw on the nose in the glass. Thick and silky smooth in the mouth but then lots of aggressive tannin and a little heat. Chocolate and anicede predominant in the long finish.
I really struggle to believe that this stuff is 14 years old
Happy Anniversary ers
