2011 Quinta do Vesuvio Capela

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

300 cases. Intense purple, nose more closed than the regular Vesuvio but showing concentrated fresh blackberries. Sweet entry with masses of ripe fruit suddenly swamped by ripe tannins. Less fruit forward and more structured than the Vesuvio. Spicy aftertaste and a finish of great length. 92-94. Snapshot tasting on 24 April 2013.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
