This lot contains two bottles of Quinta do Vesuvio 1990 Vintage Port.
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.
Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note extensive damage to the labels and wax capsules.
The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
