2006 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port
Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 6:36 pm
My first taste of the wine produced from the lagar that Alex, Andy, Christopher, Roy, Stewart, Mario, David, Jay and I had our feet in during the 2006 harvest tour.
I was surprised at how approachable this was. Perhaps it hasn't closed down yet and is still going through that "drink me now if you're American"* phase?
I can say with some confidence that this is a wine that some of us will be able to watch grow up and evaluate on a regular basis over a long period of time.
Tasted here on 23rd February 2010.
* sorry guys, couldn't resist it!
