Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2001

91 points Wine Enthusiast: “A brooding nose of sullen blackberries and earth presages a wine that shows wonderful balance between fruit, alcohol, acidity and tannin. It’s not a huge, extracted Port, but one that carries itself with grace, finishing with good length and soft tannins. Drink 2010-2030. (11/15/03)”

18/20 points Jancis Robinson: “Very sweet and round and utterly seductive. Spicy and attractive. Good lift, very appetising. This tastes as though you could approach it quite soon? Drink between 2009-2019. (Dec 2008)”
