Re: 1992 Quinta do Vesuvio
Same colour as the '91. Slightly stewed sensation on the nose and in the mouth. Incredibly bitter aftertaste. Not great; a disappointment.

Re: 1992 Quinta do Vesuvio
Denser than all previous efforts. I got an almost meaty component on the nose (ground beef, anyone?) which was unexpected an interesting. This seemed better integrated than the 91, and while there is a clear spirit component in this one as well, the fruit and structure do a better job of containing it. Still not a 'wow' wine by any means, but solid enough for casual consumption

A very strange nose, quite different to all of the other wines in the line-up, which at first made me question whether or not this was a spoiled bottle. Thin, with chocolate as the predominent flavour and a bitter finish. I didn't like this one.

V92: black hue, 80% opaque. Nose ‟vegetable”, which I didn’t like, the same also present in the taste, which was also much smoother. The same vegetable notes have previously been seen in Taylor 1985.
