2006 Quinta do Vesuvio
Posted: 11:55 Sun 16 Nov 2025
A magnum from CMAG's cellar, opened alongside his Vesuvio 10th Anniversary Case on Wednesday 13th February 2019.
From magnum. Deep black/red with no rim. A wonderful nose of fresh cherries and blackcurrants; a nose which is balanced, fresh and delicious. Primary fruit with black cherry and powerful tannins seize the entry and the mid-palate giving a rich and wonderful mouth presence. Great grip on the aftertaste, and a lingering finish of liquorice and red jelly. Lovely to drink today but will improve slowly over the next 30 years. 91/100. 13-Feb-19. Decanted 4 hours.
