Big, sweet, voluptuous. Some lift and excitement. A little scrawny at the moment. Very tannic finish. (JR)

Score 16/20 · Drink 2006-2013, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2004

Deep purple. Rather raw on the nose. Slightly simple round, sweet wine. Where’s the tannin? A bit suspiciously soft for a vintage port. Is this one of these new brands designed to be drunk young with chocolate cake? (JR)

Quinta do Vesuvio's saturated blue/purple color is more dense than many of its peers. Impressive in the mouth, with full body, sweet creme de cassis and blackberry liqueur intermixed with smoke, earth, and spice, this sensual effort possesses elegance allied to power and authority. Complex, fat, rich, and intense, it is an exceptionally stylish, graceful effort to enjoy between 2006-2020+. Importer: Premium Port Wines, Inc., San Francisco, CA; tel. (415) 401-1700

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2007-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Jul 2002

Excellent deep blackish crimson. Young, green vegetal notes (Baga-like). Big and bold and brazen and even a note of barley sugar. Very blythe blackberry juice. Rumbustious and utterly confident. Good on it. Like heavenly hunting port! (JR)
