Quinta Do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2019 clarendon-hills crushed blackcurrants#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 Vesvio. 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.
