Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2019
Other notes
#66 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2022
Typical blackcurrant and lavender aromas with traces of fennel, whose fragrance is often carried by the breeze in the vineyards at Vesúvio. On the palate the wine delivers mouth-filling ripe black fruit flavors; opulent and velvety, although with substantial volume and weighty structure. Very polished tannins provide a satisfyingly long, silky finish.
Blend: 35% Touriga Nacional, 33% Touriga Franca, 18% Alicante Bouschet, 8% Old Vines (Field Blend), 6% Tinta Amarela

Wine Spectator 96 Points:
This is really vivid, with a beautiful range of cassis, cherry purée, boysenberry coulis and plum reduction notes unfurling across the palate while succulent licorice, warm fruitcake and enticing red and black tea.
