Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage 2008

Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage 2008

Very intense purply red colour with a really fresh fruity nose. This gave a rich grapey mouthful which was reminiscent of blackcurrant cordial. A lot of ageing time would be needed to let this mellow into something not quite so sickly. However it illustrates the skill of the winemaker who can recognise the potential for such a young wine.
