2006 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port
On the border of being as dark as the Graham’s. The nose wasn’t as big as the Graham’s, it was leaner and was a bit “fresher.” Of course that could have been from the large glass to. Softer on the palate than the Graham’s, which I found consistant with other vintage of Vesuvio. Lots of cherries, violets, and chocolate are tempered by strong acidity to help carry this for many years. I enjoyed the silky blueberries on the finish. I should add, I and several others from FTLOP helped tread these grapes when we visited Vesuvio in 2006. 92-94 points
