2007 Capela da Quinta do Vesuvio, Port, Portugal

Description

Only 250 cases were made of this rich and wonderfully concentrated wine. The leitmotif of the vintage, namely purity, is the key here, the menthol freshness sitting comfortably with the sheer weigh of black fruit and the ripe and muscular tannins.

Critics reviews

Jay Miller 92/100
The 2007 Quinta do Vesuvio Capela offers a very similar personality with a bit more of everything, depth, concentration, extract, and succulence. It, too, will offer pleasure through 2040.Jay Miller - 27/02/2010

James Suckling 93-96/100
Beautiful aromas of violet and crushed raspberry, with some pepper, follow through to a full body, with a dense, rich palate, yet balanced and very refined. Medium sweet. Wonderfully polished. Powerful and long. This is a new tiny production. james_suckling– Wine Spectator – May 09)

About this wine

Quinta do Vesuvio

As a general rule, the further one travels up the Douro, the better the quality and concentration found in the fruit, though as a result of the drier conditions, the quantities are greatly reduced. The Symington Group took the plunge in 1989 and purchased Quinta do Vesuvio, which despite its remoteness, has to be the grandest quinta, with about 400 hectares of which about 100 are covered with the finest vines.
