Tasting Notes:

Waxy black and red cherries are found in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port. Thick, creamy-textured, and exuberant, it offers a medium to full-bodied personality redolent with sweet black cherries and blackberries. A seductively sexy port, it is seamless, feminine, ample, and displays a long, syrupy finish that more than makes up for a slight lack of complexity.

Score: 90 Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2018-2035

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.

Score: 95 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2014+

Heady and a little dry. Herby and exaggerated with dry finish. A little coarse at present? (17++ Points)

Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2008-2018

Full ruby. Pure, sexy aromas of black fruits, minerals and spice cake. Concentrated, superrich and impressively structured; a sweet, dense, primary wine with terrific depth and breadth. Offers intriguing hints of woodsmoke and pomegranate, and conveys a strong sense of extract. The vibrant finish features compellingly sweet tannins and a whiplash of black cherry and licorice flavor. A great showing already, but this should reward 12 to 15 years of aging.
