TN: 1991 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

[Al B.]

Decant: 36 hours - Slightly deeper than at 12 hours, colour now holding into the rim as a very consistent red. Nose with a whiff of spirit and lots of blackcurrants. Well structured fruit on entry with sweet and bitter cherry juice. Bitter cherry complexity develops in the mid-palate with structure and citrus fruit around a dark chocolate core. Long length. Tannins of yesterday have vanished. Much better than yesterday. Clearly a wine for the future, although very good today with enough time in the decanter. 90 points
