The 1995 Quinta do Vesúvio Vintage Port is a mature and expressive single-quinta Vintage Port from one of the Douro Valley’s most historic estates, crafted by the Symington family using traditional foot-treading in granite lagares. Now with significant bottle age, it showcases the evolution of Vesúvio’s powerful style into greater complexity and refinement.The nose is rich and developed, revealing dried blackberry, fig and plum, layered with notes of leather, tobacco, spice and earthy undertones. Subtle hints of cocoa, nuts and balsamic add further depth.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet softened with age, with integrated tannins and a smooth, velvety texture. The fruit has evolved into dried and savoury tones, balanced by freshness, leading to a long, mellow and complex finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those looking to explore mature Vintage Port without extended cellaring. It’s drinking beautifully now, with fully developed character. Ideal for collectors or special occasions. Perfect with blue cheese, nuts, chocolate desserts or enjoyed on its own as a contemplative after-dinner wine.
