Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 2:54 pm
Tasted at Quinta do Vesuvio with Dominic Symington on 07-OCT-2010 as part of the 2010 Port Harvest Tour.
4 x 3: Dow, Graham, Vesuvio, and Warre each from 1994, 2000, and 2007
served with lunch
1992 Vesuvio Colheita
Color: tawny red, about what you would expect from a 20-year old.
Nose: Caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, hazelnut, and prefumed alcohol.
Palate: brilliant balance. Luscious, silky, rich. Strong acidity keeps everything in check.
Score: 94 points. I really wish we could buy this stuff!
