2008 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Post by Glenn E. »

Tasted at the Graham's lodge with Gustavo Devesas on 02-OCT-2010 prior to the start of the 2010 Port Harvest Tour.

2008 Vesuvio Vintage Port

Middling bold fruits. Pleasant, but clearly not a 2007. There's just something missing. Perhaps it just needs some bottle age?

91 points.

Bottle age typically will help. Vesuvio is also a VP that normally shows its greatness right from the get go ... or not.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
