Re: 2007 Qunita do Vesuvio
Dark. Massive, huge nose. Extremely sweet on the mouth though, like many other 07s, quite elegant and not particularly tannic.

Wow. Very promising first taste of the 2007 vintage. Soft and approachable, but still rich and challenging. Quite a nice showing for something this young.

Re: 2007 Qunita do Vesuvio
I have now tasted the V07 four times and on this occasion I noticed a significant change in that it seems to have mellowed out and lost some of the aggression and rawness that dominated my initial encounters with it. This bottle still showed very good levels of acidity and tannin but was more balanced than the others I have tasted. Very drinkable now - for scientific purposes only, of course
