2008 Quinta do Vesuvio -- (work-in-progress Cask Sample)

Post by Derek T. »

This was surprisingly drinkable for such a young port, but that may have been more to do with the fact it was the 19th glass of the night

It was extremely generous of the Symingtons to allow us to taste this sample but I'm afraid my palate was beyond the point of doing it justice by this point in the evening. I look forward to tasting the final blend in the not too distant future.

Tasted here on 23rd February 2010.
