Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Ports are very concentrated, powerful wines. The Quinta do Vesuvio 1997 has a dark and intense purple color on the nose showing a luscious ripeness with rich floral aromas of gum citrus and hints of blackcurrant. On the palate the wine is extraordinarily rich and full-bodied, packed with layers of fruit and firm tannins, holding its richness all the way through to a long and concentrated finish.
