2012 Quinta do Vesuvio
Posted: 09:03 Fri 01 May 2015
Bottled in April 2014. Deeply coloured, purple and opaque. Gentle nose showing little other than some sharp and acidic fruit. Fruity entry, but the acidity leads and dominates the mid-palate, making the overall palate out of balance and requires work and patience to bring back into balance. Tannins dominate the aftertaste, which is very big and powerful. This is one to follow over the next few years to see how it matures and evolves. 89/100. Drunk 24-Feb-15.
