1992 Quinta do Vesuvio Colheita

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Freshly drawn from the barrel. Reddish brown core and an orange rim, 30% opaque. Subdued on the nose, a touch of coffee and some mandarin. Soft and smooth on the palate with a lovely texture. Lots of orange and a powerful coffee to the core. Lovely balance to the palate with perfect levels of acidity. A big and flavoursome finish. This is a great mouthful of port, round and full. 91/100. Drunk 22-Sep-14. Pop 'n' Pour.
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!

V92C. Slightly hotter and fuller than the Noval colheita. Very long and full.
