1998 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Post by Kurt Wieneke »

Hints of kirsch, plumskin, confectioners sugar, and briar on the nose. This is ridiculously youthful, with massive concentration and sweetness, fruit and heat, and some chewy, fine-grained tannins that kick in on the finish. Had a glass over several nights. Good overall balance, which bodes well for the future. My other bottle is going to sleep for a very long time. 90+ pts
