2003 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:17 pm
4- Quinta do Vesuvio:
Really dark to the rim, “WOW! what a great port” was my next thought as I tasted this beauty. That nose just jumped out at me, so much so I couldn’t stop smelling this one for about 3-4 minutes. Although it seemed a bit lacking right now (shut down?) This thing is packed with berry fruit and under those powerful tannins is a silky beauty that I am sure will come around with time. It is longing to be cellared for 30-40 years. (I guessed it was the Smith Woodhouse)
