Description

A bottle of Quinta do Vesuvio 1996 Vintage Port, bottled in 1998.

'Putty/linseed on the nose and very sweet, round and rich. Flattering, lovely, smoky, exciting! Dense. Very, very good! Long, concentrated, explosive.18.5/20 points' Jancis Robinson MW, 2009

Highly regarded for its wines since the nineteenth century Quinta do Vesuvio became part of the Symington Port empire in 1989, and now has 133 hectares of vines, planted at altitudes varying from 130 metres to 530 metres, in production. The grapes are trod each vintage by foot by a team of 50 in granite 'lagares' built in 1827.
