1998 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Post by David Spriggs »

Very dark color. Beautiful nose of black cherries, chocolate, and old wood. Big fruity entry and then the acid comes up and support an extremely long citrus finish. Really delicious and hard not to take another sip. The texture is very suave. I do see peeks of substantial, but fine tannins. This is still quite young and powerful. It's easy to drink if you like that powerful style (I do), but I expect that this has many years ahead of it. This is in a good place right now. 93 points
