Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2005

Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalBig spicy, floral, white pepper, cardamom, cranberry, black cherry, rosewood, chocolate, tobacco aromas, very unique and complex aromatics. Ripe, rich, round, slightly tannic palate with good finesse. Warm with good acidity and sugar balance, not a sweet style but with some grip. Very peppery, black cherry, prune, chocolate, dried herbs, floral, tea flavours with a bit spirit showing. A bit on the lighter side but good complexity and finesse for mid-term aging.Tasted: 25 October 2009Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
