Quinta do Vesuvio - Vintage Port 2003 (750ml)
Quinta do Vesuvio Description
The 2003 Vesuvio is of superb quality, possessing Vesuvio's lovely scented nose of violets, layers of opulent blackcurrant fruit and a powerful, tightly knit structure suggesting great longevity. This young wine should be allowed to age in its own bottle for at least 15 to 20 years from the time it is bottled to achieve its optimum maturity. For those who prefer to drink their Vintage Port young, 4 to 5 years are sufficient.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Complex aromas of crushed berries, pepper and spices. Full-bodied, with medium sweetness and layers of polished tannins. Masses of berry, plum and citrus character. This single-vineyard Port is always superb. Best after 2014. 2,500 cases made.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
The Symingtons? showpiece vineyard in the upper Douro continues to make great vintage Port. This 2003 shows the estate?s potential for big, luscious wines that are both powerful and tannic. It is opulent and generous, with the potential for good aging. Imported by Premium Port Wines Inc.
