1994 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port
Posted: 15:21 Mon 07 Dec 2009
Tasted during a wonderful tasting, hosted and prepared by Gustavo, in the Graham's lodge (26/11/2009)
To my shame, this is only the second time I tasted this particular port. I was, therefore, very happy that Gustavo included it in the line-up. Beautiful, deep colour, and impressive from beginning till end. Lovely floral, fruity nose, lots of depth, complex and complete. It has that silky Vesuvio touch, but is also still a bit backward: dark and brooding. Lovely long finish, showing bay leaf, dark chocolate and coffee. Impossible not to love.
