1992 Quinta do Vesuvio

Post by winesecretary »

A glass at an extraordinary dinner on 17th August 2020 (amongst other things, a horizontal of 1993 first-growths; this port served with the cheese; notable because this was my #3 WOTN after the Haut-Brion and the Latour). Deliciously figgy port, mature but full of life, long sweet blackcurrant finish, an absolute pleasure to wrap my gums round and in no hurry. A great Symington 1992.

I just bought an OWC of this so good to hear how it’s coming along. I’ve put it into longer term storage.

You have yourself a fine case of port there, IMHO.
