1991 Quinta do Vesuvio

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

A bottle from CMAG's Vesuvio 10th Anniversary Case, opened on Wednesday 13th February 2019.

Bottle 22 223. mature copper ed colour; 50% opaque. Fresher on the nose than the '89 or '90, showing more redcurrant and cranberry. Smooth onto the palate, bringing redcurrant and green leaves. The gentle tannins have almost vanished into the fruit, giving just a hint of dryness to the flavoursome palate. Lovely red cinnamon drops on the long and tasty finish. 88/100. Tasted 13-Feb-19. Decanted 3 hours.
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!
