TN: 2005 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port

Post by Al B. »

Decant: 3 hours - Black, black, black. Wonderful youthful blueberries on the nose but dominated by tannins in the mouth, although there is a very pleasant fruitiness around and behind the tannin. But the tannis are powerful and dry the cheeks out instantly. The aftertaste - through the dry and peppery cheeks - is fruity and very long. A wine which shows a good deal of promise for the future. 90 points
