1999 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Young and raw on the nose. Quite harsh, acidic and disjointed on the palate. This wine seems to have characteristics that are "too young" for its age. Is it going through some sort of teenage crisis a little early? I am intrigued to see how this develops and if I had to splash out a few quid on some Vesuvio right now I think this is the one I would buy.

Tasted here on 23rd February 2010.
