1994 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

[NickA]

Not sure how representative this is, but the compact, high toned palate wasn’t great:

Deep youthful looking ruby/burgundy. Initially a lovely lifted, almost floral top note. Good entry then falls off with a firm acidic edge which gives the port intensity, but unbalances the otherwise good fruit. Neither expands on the palate or draws out much of finish. Indeed as other remarks about volatility on the nose, I have conclude the impact on the palate impact is due to its effect, and hardly a positive one. ?
