Waxy black and red cherries are found in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port. Thick, creamy-textured, and exuberant, it offers a medium to full-bodied personality redolent with sweet black cherries and blackberries. A seductively sexy port, it is seamless, feminine, ample, and displays a long, syrupy finish that more than makes up for a slight lack of complexity. Projected maturity: 2018-2035.
Big and burly. Masses of fruit and tannin. Full blackstrap Port here. Full-bodied, with mouthpuckering tannins, yet they are sweet and round. Medium sweet. Long finish. One of the best of the vintage. This single-vineyard Port is always superb.
Heady and a little dry. Herby and exaggerated with dry finish. A little coarse at present? Drink 2008-2018. Date tasted 8th Dec 08.
