Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage 2004 Coffret 6 bottles

€ 498.00

Only 1100 Cases made in 2004. The 2004 Vesuvio has an opaque, inky purple colour. The excellent ripeness of the grapes and the relatively high Baumés allowed for longer fermentations, producing wines of exceptional concentration, depth of colour and tannic structure. It has a fragrant nose of violets and layers of rich blackberry fruit on the palate, making it irresistible for broaching young, although the wine will age for decades

“A powerhouse of a wine that goes from densely rich to massive without a pause. The ripe fruit, dark, heavy tannins and black plum and fig flavors all come from the terroir of this great vineyard.” Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, March 2008
