Quinta do Vesuvio - Vintage Port 2015 is a powerful wine with vibrant dark fruit aromas, complemented by fragrant notes of esteva (rockrose) and violets. On the palate, it is firm and structured, with a muscular feel and strong grip from the schist tannins. The finish is long, intense, and impeccably balanced. Pairs well with chocolate and caramel.
This is beautifully balanced, but still a "wow" because of its terrific fruit. It is packed with luscious and intensely flavorful fruit, laced with some dark plum and baked cherry nuances. The concentration is good—not exceptional, perhaps, but it shows fine precision on the delicious finish, too. It is also rather elegant and very fresh, the fruit lifted and well defined, never sloppy. It tightens noticeably with air, proving that its backbone can't be discounted.
From a magnificent property in the Douro Superior, picked relatively late after the rain, rich and heady on the nose with ripe blackberry jam fruit and a touch of aromatic esteva (gum cistus); opulent palate, sun-drenched fruit backed by big, ripe velvety tannins and a tannic finish. Full, round and satisfying; weight and finesse.
Full of ripe fruit, this wine is rich while also having a delicately perfumed charater. With its spice, generous fruits and sense of poise, it will age well.
Expressive, with plum, blackberry and blueberry paste flavors that have a juicy edge along with lively licorice snap and suave dark chocolate notes. Lots of plum skin and cobbler details fill in on the finish.
