April 9, 2022 - The Last Hurrah; 4/7/2022-4/9/2022 (Seattle, Washington): From magnum. Decanted for 8 hours. This magnum came from our first visit to Quinta do Vesuvio in 2006 when we actually got into the lagars with the local Portuguese treaders and helped to foot-trod this wine. We all were offered magnums of the wine when it was bottled, and it has been quite a few years since I have tasted any of the magnums that our group were offered. I was really looking forward to seeing how this wine was progressing, as I still have magnums of this wine in my cellar. Dark purple in color, mostly opaque. Floral and fresh crushed blueberry notes on the nose. Some mocha, and great intensity of blue fruit on the palate - blueberry, boysenberry and black currant. There is an elegance to the mouthfeel, but that is backed by a fantastic structure. This wine could go for 50 more years (at least in magnum).

September 20, 2016 - 2016 Port Harvest Tour; 9/18/2016-9/25/2016 (Portugal): Impenetrable dark violet in color. Pine and black fruit notes on the nose. Extremely well-balanced, long finish. An outstanding wine with current drinkability and a long future ahead of it.
