2011 Quinta do Vesuvio

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Deep purple; fresh and floral nose with a good dose of acidity. Sweet entry, tannins ripe and round and swamped by the fruit. Ripe acidity provides further structure. A huge length of reasonable volume. A fabulous port in a very feminine and elegant style. 94-96. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: Quinta das Carvalhas 80YO Tawny
