Breaking news .... Quinta do Vesuvio

Post by Roy Hersh »

Kim Marcus of The Wine Spectator, just anointed the 2009 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port with ... 98 points.

My suggestion: Grab it quick before the price skyrockets!

"98 pts- Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2009 • $65 Powerfully rich and refined, with plenty of grip behind the lip-smacking flavors of kirsch, dark plum, chocolate and boysenberry. Shows excellent balance as well, with a silky texture and a long, spicy finish that’s accented with hints of licorice and cedar. Best from 2014 through 2034. 500 cases made.—K.M."
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

Roy when would you suggest this for early drinking v mature? Would you recommend this or the 2005 if you could only buy one?
