Re: Vesuvio 1992

“1992 Quinta do Vesuvio Post 19:34 Tue 02 Mar 2010 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...

I love this port. Might be my favourite modern port for current drinking.
Holy cow! Need to check my notes but I don’t remember enjoying a Vesuvio prior to 94. If I happen to have one I’ll give it a crack when next in ny. If not I’ll raid ahb man cave when next in whatever that towns called

These are interesting points. I actually wonder if they go in different directions?
