Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port 1995

95 points/'Top 100 Wines of 1998 (#4),' Wine Spectator: "A ripe and rich '95 boasting a remarkable essence of crushed berries, this is classic Port. It's full-bodied and quite sweet, with the velvetiest of tannins and a long, long ripe fruit finish. At its best after 2008. (4/30/98)"

95 points James Suckling: "This shows figs, salted chocolate and prunes with a subtle, pleasant, herbal note. Full and unctuous but not overwhelming, it has silky, enveloping tannins and a long, delicate finish. It will continue to age gracefully for a long, long time. (7/26/24)"

95 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$120 list] Now impressively mature, this intense Port shows the great pedigree of the two century old estate. It has richness, a spice aroma and the concentrated texture that still reveals great black fruits as well as raisin and spice flavors. The wine is ready to drink. Alcohol 20%. (Dec 2025)"

Very dark red color with hints of purple. A super rich concentrated nose of blackberry fruit and undertones of black cherry. On the palate showing huge body, luscious cassis flavors balanced by firm tannins, finishing with a fantastic exhibition of power and finesse.
