TN: 1994 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Decant: 2 hours - Uniform red, just before the centre turns transparent. Blueberries on the nose, lively and vibrant. Sweet and fruity in the mouth, right from the very first contact with the tongue. The tannins are there, but discreet and overwhelmed by the huge volume of blueberries and with a wonderful tobacco bite. With more air, the volume of fruit in this wine just grows bigger and bigger. The aftertaste is smooth and elegant with lots of apple fruit and soft milk chocolate. A superb wine made from a blend containing 40% Touriga Frranca. 95 points
