Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2024 (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Alluring, gorgeous aromas combining red and black fruit, a sprinkling of herbal spice and traces of black olives, scents of pine, forest floor and wild rosemary. Captivating palate, rippling with seductive wild berry fruit with bright acidity and grainy tannins providing a balanced counterpoint to the velvety, bright fruit. The well-wrought structure is taut yet supple, making the wine irresistible to enjoy young whilst signaling considerable staying power. An enthralling, generous Vesuvio, combining complexity and refinement. Aromas of asphalt, violets, dark fruit and a touch of tobacco. This very expressive wine is tight and incisive with a precise tannic structure, showing dark fruit and balanced sweetness. Savory finish. Best from 2030. The 2024 Vintage Port was produced with 47% Touriga Franca (the highest amount of other Vintage Ports), 30% Touriga Nacional, 13% Alicante Bouschet and 10% Sousão. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts in lagar and matured in large oak vessels for 18 months. It's full of energy and tension, is harmonious and has so much going on. This has more Touriga Franca than any of their other Vintage Ports, and it's also the sweetest, but it has phenomenal concentration and higher acidity and comes through as balanced. It is juicy and opulent, with balance. Aromatic, it develops hints of rosemary with time in the glass. It has 20% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 110 grams of acidity. Range: 94-97
