[8-hour decant] Ripe, rich, very youthful still, with a noticeable tannic backbone, but also shows a sweet palate (think Graham’s/Fonseca, though the Symington family owns Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s and Cockburn’s, among others??), this should easily evolve/improve another 10-20 years, very long finish, outstanding vintage Porto, super long finish!! — 10 months ago

9.1

Dominated by its tertiary development, but still loaded with baking spice and dried fruit. A nimble palate with fresh acidity, resolving tannins, and an eternal, evolving finish. — 11 years ago

Smooth and delicious. Dark and flavorful, well balanced overall. Lots of grit at the end of the bottle. Worked well with biscuits and sausage southern meal. — a year ago

One of those reds that manage to taste both big and light at the same time. J-M thinks of not too leathery Riojas and not too tannic Barbarescos — 10 years ago

Nice natural honest style. Transparant. Ripe korrelige fijne tannines. Doet iets denken aan een cote rotie, rijp, zongebakken, zonder gestoofd te zijn. Met frecheur. — 2 years ago

This is my first wine of this varietal. This is a big wine with bold jammy dark fruit and vanilla aromas, tongue coating tannins, and a lingering finish. Better on the second night. Probably best to decant to fully appreciate. — 9 years ago

Drier than the normal Vesuvio '11. More of the elegance and less of the dense mouthfeel but lots
and lots of tannin. Very big and weighty finish however. Ridiculously long, packed. — 11 years ago
