  April 9, 2021 - Medium garnet. Intense nose of prune jam, raisins, black chocolate, leather, cinnamon. Wine is dense with taste of raisins, prunes, chocolate. Medium tanins and acidity. Long.

  April 7, 2021 - Prune jam, milk chocolate, rum and raisin on the nose. Dense, sweet spicy fig and caramel palate. Long, clove and slightly smoked finish. This is obviously good port, but no matter how much I try I just can't get myself to fall for it. It's too sweet and characterless for me (at this stage). I'm going to leave all of my further bottles of Vesuvio for a few years in the hope that age will coax out some personality.

  February 25, 2021 - Very similar experience to my last bottle, but didn't get any of the raisin I noted before. A beautifully balanced port. 93+
