Capela Do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2017
Quinta do Vesuvio is located in the heart of the Douro Superiore. An utstanding reputation for producing exceptional wines stretching back to the 19th Century. This is a remarkable follow-up to the sensational 2016 and possibly even takes it up a level.
- Mesmerising aromas; lavender, eucalyptus, green tea and liquorice
- On the palate, the concentration and intensity are striking with layers of complexity
- There is a wonderful interplay of invigorating black and red fruits
- Tannins give balance to the impressive structure
- The Sousao comes through in a spicy seasoning that underscores the wine’s remarkable freshness
- The seductive finish is endless and inspirational
This vintage port is immensely concentrated and powerful with exceptional levels of extract. A fabulous structural framework to keep everything pinned tight. Relatively impenetrable at this stage, this will require at least 10 years cellaring but should comfortably age for around 3 decades or longer.
