2011 Quinta do Vesuvio Capela

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Fruity on the nose and with a lovely herbaceous overtone. Sweet fruit on entry with wonderful aromatics and complexity. Great tannins, firm but wrapped in velvet fruit. Big and mouthfilling presence but a slightly watery texture. Tannins dominate the aftertaste, which leads to a long and fruit-driven finish. Very attractive port. 93-95. Tasted over 3-4 hours 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!
