2014 Quinta do Vesuvio

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

An experimental and early blend from the previous two blends (being Sousao + Alicante Bouschet and Sousao +Touriga Nacional). Wonderful balance and poise, generous perfumed fruit and terrific structure. If winemakers and their accountants look to make vintage port from grapes picked before the rain these could be very good indeed. NR. Drunk 22-Sep-14.
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!
