Quinta do Vesúvio Vintage 2005 has an excellent inky black colour. The nose is filled with strong notes of spring violets and wildflowers. The aftertaste is long, complex and rich, with layers of flavors that linger on the palate. Blueberry and blackcurrant flavours combine with rich dark chocolate and add structure. A seamless vintage port, with perfect integration and velvety texture on the palate. The wine will bring great pleasure throughout its long life.

As ever, Vesuvio is packed with its generous, opulent ripe fruit, showing richness, dense flavors, layers of jam and sweetness with a hint of caramel flavors. This is a Port for indulgence, ripe, rich and packed with flavor.
