2017 Quinta do Vesuvio, Port, Portugal

Description

Located upriver in the Douro Superior, Quinta do Vesuvio boasts 130 hectares of vines spread across altitudes between 130 and 530 metres above sea-level, imparting a freshness which is evident in this sensual 2017 release. Detailed aromatics display crushed violets and black rose petals over an abundance of plums and cranberries. The nose is expressive and intense, hinting at greatness. Wonderfully balanced, the palate offers gorgeous blue fruit with notes of mocha over a sweet and creamy texture. The ripe tannins are remarkably integrated, building gradually towards the back of the mouth, with bright acidity and flicks of graphite holding everything in check. Concentrated yet seductive, a balance of suppleness and freshness. It’s a complete Vintage Port with all the components singing in harmony. This sensational wine could be enjoyed in youth but has the capacity for the long term.
