TN: 1994 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Decant: 14 hours - Tasted the following morning, the bouquet has opened up and is a well developed aroma of sweet, blackcurrant pie that just makes your mouth water when you smell it. Very sweet into the mouth, almost like blackcurrant drops, concentrated fruit juice. Immensely acidic structure but wonderful complexity in the mid-palate with the tannins taking a long time to make themselves obvious. Swallowing releases wave after wave of development on the aftertaste. This is just an amazing wine. How can this be anything except one of my top 5% of wines drunk in 2007 so I have to give it 10/10 on Tom's scale. 96 points
