Quinta do Vesuvio 1997 70cl

Quinta do Vesuvio is one of the great Quintas of the Douro. The current fame of Vesuvio is down to the Symingtons (owners of the likes of Warre, Dow and Graham) who purchased the property in 1989. They have redeveloped it somewhat and expanded the vineyard holdings to some 130 hectares. The focus of Vesuvio is vintage Port. The grapes, however, are rigorously selected and only a proportion find their way into the Vintage Port. It's clear that Vesuvio is right up there with the top Port houses in quality terms: this is one of the great Vintage Ports of the Douro, even though it is technically only a single quinta Port. Quinta do Vesuvio has warm, sweet, pure aromatic fruit on the nose. Soft, lush and broad on the palate. Seems very sweet
